A lively and structured Bordeaux dry white wine

The estate

Clos des Lunes traces its history from an ambitious venture starting in 2011 with an observation and a challenge: to make a legendary dry white wine on the exceptional Sauternes terroir. This is the challenge taken up by the emblematic Olivier Bernard and his family, owners of Domaine de Chevalier in Léognan, who, with passion and energy, have worked to make Clos des Lunes one of the greatest references for dry white Bordeaux wines on this sweet wines territory.

The wine

Prestigious and rare, the Clos des Lunes "Lune d'Or" is the result of Olivier Bernard's ambition to produce one of the greatest wines in the world. Made from a meticulous manual selection of grapes from very old vines, this Bordeaux Dry White wine with great ageing potential is the ultimate expression of purity and complexity.
