Les Champs d'Argent Bourgogne Aligoté 2018

Well, I pulled this out of my cellar as I had not had an Aligote in awhile. Quite a surprise and nice wine. A bit shocked by the current prices. I have had this bottle at least 4 years and certainly didn’t pay over $100, so the wine shop must have mispriced the bottle. My lucky day! It has a nice lemon hue with aromas of floral, butter, lemon, and apple. It has a mineral and saline quality with a nutty profile. Nice medium body, slightly creamy, and a long finish. Wishing I had a case in inventory, but it was my only bottle! — 4 months ago

Clos de Lunès

Lune d'Argent White Bordeaux Blend 2023

Clos des Lunes “Lune d’Argent” 2023
Bordeaux Blanc, Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷

Overview
A classic white Bordeaux blend of 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. The estate is known for showcasing the nobility of Sémillon in dry form — rare in Bordeaux, where it is often associated with sweet Sauternes. Here, Sémillon brings waxy texture, depth, and honeysuckle complexity, while Sauvignon Blanc adds grassy aromatics and a zesty lift.

Aromas & Flavors
Expressive notes of ripe citrus, white peach, honeysuckle, and subtle herbs, framed by hints of wet stone and fresh-cut grass. The interplay of ripe fruit and grassy vibrancy creates both richness and freshness.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with a supple, almost waxy texture from the Sémillon, balanced by Sauvignon’s crisp acidity. Clean, mineral, and refreshing on the finish, with good persistence.

Winemaking Notes
Harvested by hand and vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel with partial maturation on fine lees to preserve both aromatic intensity and structure. This process highlights both varietals’ best traits.

Food Pairing
Perfect with seafood gastronomy — oysters, scallops, grilled prawns, or sea bass. It also pairs beautifully with goat cheese, light poultry, or herbed vegetable dishes.

Verdict
A refined Bordeaux Blanc that balances richness and freshness, showing why Sémillon deserves more attention in dry blends. Stylish, versatile, and perfect for the table.
