Diane by Jacques Lurton Sémillon White
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.
Wine style
Elegant and Fruity
Grape blend
Sémillon 98% / Sauvignon blanc 2%
Weather
2021 was marked by very capricious weather: heavy rainfall in the spring, a frost episode in April causing major damage... But warm days and cool nights followed one another from mid-August onwards, ensuring the success of the vintage.
Tasting Comment
Appearance
Attractive golden yellow colour, quite pale, with some silver highlights.
Nose
A little shy at first, it is with aeration that the nose gradually reveals tasty notes of citrus fruits, apricots and apricot tart. It is a very gourmet nose.
Mouth
The attack is round and fresh. In the middle of the mouth, there is a nice volume and fatness. Good length. It is a rich and ample wine. This volume gives it a particularly interesting structure. This Diane Sémillon can be enjoyed with baked fish, a pork loin with curry and apples or a cheese platter.
