History

The new gem of Olivier Bernard and Stéphane Derenoncourt. Bordeaux is world famous for its Grands Crus. It is on these beautiful terroirs, probably a little less known in Bordeaux, that Olivier Bernard asked Stéphane Derenoncourt, the Domaine de Chevalier’s consultant, to vinify for him some pretty prizes selected from winemakers passionate about their craft. The goal is clear: to make the Little Moon a beautiful wine, charming but elegant, which reflects the values ??of Olivier Bernard. This idea came simply from their love for Bordeaux wines and in the continuity of the Clos des Lunes project, which enabled Olivier Bernard and his team to create a brand new range of rosé, white and red wines : La Petite Lune.

Vinification

These wines, based on a selection of Stéphane Deroncourt and vinified by Olivier Bernard’s team, aim to bring: to the consumer, pleasurable wines, on the fruit with an excellent quality-price ratio. To the importer a brand, a know-how, a reference, an image and a quality allowing him to work well. These cuvées in red, rosé and white benefit from the same 18th century bottle as Clos des Lunes and Lespault Martillac packaged in beautiful flat boxes of 6 bottles.

Tasting

The color of the Petite Lune Rosé presents fresh pink currant tints, slightly orange. Then, the nose offers tangy fruit and citrus. : wild strawberry, exotic fruits and cle-mentine. The mouth is delicious and generous, fresh and very fruity.
