James Suckling: This shows volume and concentration on the palate, moving from a broad profile to a narrower, more angular expression toward the finish while maintaining its core of concentration. Persistent and textural."

Jeb Dunnuck: Ripe melon, honeyed orange, brioche, and a subtle spicy character all emerge from the 2025 Clos Des Lunes Lune D'Or Blanc, an all-Sémillon white that will spend a year in barrels before spending another year in concrete tanks. It's slightly deeper in its light gold hue than the Lune d'Argent, and on the palate, it's medium-bodied and concentrated, with a round, layered mouthfeel and outstanding length. It's a solid step up over the Lune d'Argent."

Decanter: Typically showing ample, expressive aromatics of white peach, delicate citrus and soft almond, lifted by white flowers such as acacia and honeysuckle, this wine is known for its silky texture and a profile that is rich, full and creamy yet airy. In 2025, from 100% Sémillon at 13% alcohol, it offers subtle tropical notes of mango and quince, unfolding on a broader, more expansive palate than its sister estate, Clos d’Argent. While the wine gains volume and presence with aeration, at this early stage it leans more toward breadth than precision, and I find myself missing a touch of linearity and tension, qualities that make the Argent particularly appealing today."
