Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 08 Aug 22
The 2012 Lune d'Or has an intriguing bouquet, not unlike a Loire with some maturity. Touches of wet wool permeating the citrus fruit and hints of beeswax come through with time. The palate is well balanced with white chocolate and walnut on the entry, a little yeasty in style, but with adequate freshness on the finish.

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
