"Clair de Lune" when translated from its original French means "Light of the Moon". The late French composer Claude Debussy created a magnificent piano piece, Clair de Lune. It has a beautiful timeless and enduring quality and consequently was the source of inspiration for naming our vineyard and wines. Clair de Lune's goal is to create wines of great finesse and elegance that will be enjoyed and celebrated by the wine and food fraternity thereby promoting our future. What's Happening at Clair de LuneI'm very happy to announce to my database of customers that James Halliday in his newly-released 2011 edition of the Australian Wine Companion has given Clair de Lune a four star rating for a second time. This year both my Pinot Noir and Oaked Chardonnay (2008 vintages) were rated at 93 points each. My Triolet (Shiraz-Merlot-Cabernet blend) was rated at 89 points and the Duo (a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Unoaked Chardonnay) was rated at 88 points. I found these results very encouraging. Cheers!
