Diane by Jacques Lurton
Blanc de Noirs | Sparkling Brut Nature
Vin de France
AOC Entre-deux-Mers
Diane captures the aura of a historic grape variety, behind the great Bordeaux wines. Jacques Lurton and his teams roam the vineyard, taste the fruit, and select the finest grapes to find the epitome of complexity and elegance. The Goddess Diane is charmingly discreet. She is best enjoyed in a calm setting, far from outdoor distractions. She is more of an evening person, when the sun goes down and the stress of the day fades.

Conditions météorologiques
2023 was marked by a uniform start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and the bunches emerged beautifully. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.

Dégustation
Fairly pale golden yellow in colour, with a hint of silver.
The nose is both intense and fruity, with delicate notes of ripe fruit, citrus fruits such as bergamot, and yellow orchard fruit. The whole is very harmonious.
The attack is marked by smoothness and creaminess. The freshness on the mid-palate is particularly well-balanced by the wine's volume and fatness. This Diane (by Jacques Lurton) Sémillon is a wine to be enjoyed with pleasure.
