The blend consists of 70% Semillon (the king of Sauternes grapes, which Olivier Bernard aims to deliver to consumers at its finest) and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. The pampered vines, cultivated with the utmost respect, are on average 35 years old. They grow on gravelly soils (in Sauternes and Bommes) and red clay (in Barsac).

Located in the Sauternes region, the Clos des Lunes was bought in 2011 by Olivier Bernard - already owner of the Domaine de Chevalier, Domaine de la Solitude and Lespault Martillac (Pessac-Léognan). It produces only dry white wines, which makes its originality for a domain implanted in Sauternes region. Three cuvées are elaborated: Lune Blanche, Lune d'Argent and Lune d'Or. Great white wines.
