Winemaker Description
Pretty, blackberry, dried-tobacco and herbal aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, mouth filling flavors and a delicious fruit finish. A blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc located a stone's throw from Chevalier's famed vineyards in Graves. Based on a special selection of vineyard lots handpicked by Deroncourt and vinified by Bernard’s team at Domaine de Chevalier, the Clos des Lunes aims to be little more modern in styling with an excellent quality-price ratio.
Founded by the owners of Domaine de Chevalier & Stephane Derenoncourt, one of the top winemakers in France, the Clos des Lunes 2022 is no ordinary Bordeaux.

At the tasting, the Little Red Moon offers a shimmering and deep ruby color. The nose is intense red and black fruits well walls. It is a fresh and fine wine. We find spicy notes finely peppery and flowery. The violet is present and is reminiscent of Merlot. The entry is round, silky, fleshy, very fruity and sweet! The tannins are fine, structuring and persistent in the finish. The Little Red Moon is balanced, fruity, rich, elegant. A Bordeaux upscale.
One of our absolute favorite Bordeaux reds under $20. Made by the famed Domaine de Chevalier this wine is chuck full of black fruits and mouth filling flavors. A best buy. - Rand Sieger, 67wine, Buyer.
Winemakers notes: Bright dark red color. Intense bouquet of ripe wild red and black fruits and spicy tannins. Cherry and blackberry are well present, indicating the dominance of Merlot. Full-bodied and corpulent palate. pulpy and silky, protected by very fine tannins and good acidity from the Cabernets. Nice freshness. Very pleasant to taste now with good aeration. The tannins will refine and become rounder after some time in the cellar. Drink from 2024 to 2030, at 17°C.
