Critic reviews
"Delicate notes of pear, spring flowers and white fruits emerge from the glass of the 2024 Lune d'Or, a medium to full-bodied, round and sappy wine with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a long, ethereal finish. It should improve with the élevage."
Yohan Castaing, April 2025, RobertParker.com
"The 2024 Lune d'Or, pure Sémillon picked from September 4 to 20 at 45 hl/ha, is a step up from the Lune d'Argent in terms of complexity. White peach, lime and hints of dried apricot unfold in the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant with wonderful tension and impressive depth. This grabs the texture of the variety with both hands and runs with it. The finish has a lingering spiciness that beckons you back for more. It is excellent."
Neal Martin, April 2025, Vinous.com
"The 2024 Lune d'Or is 100% Sémillon from old vines in Barsac. Lemon confit, white flowers and chamomile open. This brisk white marries tension with the natural richness of Sémillon. Readers will find a Lune d'Or of textural density and phenolic substance. Superb."
Antonio Galloni, April 2025, Vinous.com
"Light cream, minerals and woven fruit. Bright and crunchy, with a medium to full body and a long, lightly phenolic finish. A touch of salinity at the end. Semillon and around 3% sauvignon blanc."
James Suckling, May 2025, JamesSuckling.com
"Crisp, bright, vivid, impressive, this has grip and lift, white peach with searing citrus and lime blossom. One to look out for. Harvest 28 August to 21 September.."
