2023 Clos des Lunes 'Lune d'Argent', Bordeaux, France Jean-Philippe Fichet The straightforward no-frills palate offersA textbook example of excellent dry white in 2023: you get the sumptuousness of ripe Smillon with nectarine juiciness and the verve and citrus punch, in this case kiwi, from the Sauvignon Blanc. No malolactic fermentation to maintain acidity, given the summer heatwaves, and voil. This wine also has some classy pear on the finish. 93 Pts Decanter
