Vinous
The 2021 Lune d'Argent, picked from September 13 to October 4, has an understated bouquet of citrus peel, petrichor and linden scents that unfurl nicely in the glass. The palate is saline on the entry, displaying fine acidity, touches of orange peel and spice, and good density on the oyster-shell-tinged finish. This should give many years of pleasure, but it needs bottle age.

Decanter
Pure aromas of white and citrus fruits and delicate floral acacia and peach blossom. This blend of 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc has beautiful clarity and precision on the palate, with vibrant acidity giving life and excitement. Mineral touches on the mid-palate balance the fruit and acidity. Almost unctuous juiciness from start to finish. Wine ages six to seven months, 25% in barrels, 75% in small vats.
