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.

Weather conditions
2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. ln addition to a very early frost in the spring, which affected the vineyard just as the vines were starting to bud, there was a long period of exceptional drought from May until the end of September. The result was low yields and a perfect state of health at harvest time throughout the vineyard.
Harvest
7 September - 15 September 2022
Tasting
A very pretty golden yellow colour, quite pale, with a few green, slightly silvery highlights.
Full of deliciousness, the nose is marked by notes of ripe fruit (pear), with a hint of citrus.
The attack is very supple. On the mid-palate, this very rich wine sweeps us away in a whirlwind of ripe fruit notes. A lovely, fat texture emerges. Also plenty of volume. Lovely length. A particularly pleasant wine.
