February 4, 2024 - 2108 Clos des Lunes - we typically associate Sauternes with luscious, richly verdant desert beauty, but Sauternes in some vintages are either mediocre or nearly nonexistent. 2018 was the latter. Enter dry Sauternes, of which quite a bit is being made by Sauternes houses, and also by the likes of Domaine de Chevalier producing Clos des Lunes. This dry wine certainly benefited from all the challenges that plagued their sweet counterparts in 2018. Juicy Meyer lemon with hints of green apple, pineapple and pear. Lush on open that gives way to more elegant nose with hints of flower, almonds and quite a bit minerality. Well balanced acidity and fruit making this wine enjoyable with or without food. Joyful wine! Drink now and over the next 5 years.
