TASTING NOTES FOR Lunar Apoge Lirac White 2019

🍷 Appearance
Golden yellow with a bright, luminous hue. Rich and inviting in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Fragrant and lifted, showing white flowers, honeysuckle and citrus blossom.
Notes of apricot, peach and subtle stone fruit add generosity, with a delicate herbal and mineral edge bringing Rhône character.

👅 Palate
Medium-bodied and expressive, delivering flavours of apricot, citrus and orchard fruits.
There’s a lovely balance between ripe fruit and freshness, with lively acidity keeping the wine bright and energetic.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Smooth and rounded with a lightly creamy texture from lees work.
The finish is vivid and persistent, showing citrus lift, gentle spice and a subtle mineral line.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Southern Rhône white blend (Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Viognier)—textural, aromatic and balanced.
Combines floral elegance with stone fruit richness, offering both freshness and a slightly fuller, more rounded style.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled fish, seafood, roast chicken or Mediterranean dishes. Also excellent with goat’s cheese and light Asian cuisine.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A beautifully expressive Rhône white—floral, textural and very easy to enjoy.
A great alternative to Chardonnay and a smart inclusion in mixed dozens for something a little different.

Cheers
