Luminesce is L'Ecole's white Bordeaux blend, perfectly balanced by the rich fruit profile of Semillon and the crisp, floral, and mineral notes of the Sauvignon Blanc. This is a unique wine for L’Ecole since it’s produced exclusively with fruit from their Estate Seven Hills vineyard.
L’Ecole is a partner in the 170-acre acclaimed Seven Hills Vineyard, which is planted in windblown loess of geologically young and mineral-rich soils. Originally planted in 1981, this Certified Sustainable and Salmon Safe vineyard was recognized as one of the Ten Great Vineyards of the World by Wine and Spirits Magazine.
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 92 POINTS - "The 2023 Luminesce Seven Hills Vineyard is a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Sémillon. It has pretty scents of peach, nectarine, beeswax and tropical flowers. The medium-bodied palate offers concentrated, layered flavors balanced by vibrant acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish. 1,250 cases produced."
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 91 POINTS - "The 2023 Luminesce Estate Seven Hills Vineyard is impossible to ignore with zests of lemon and peach shavings complemented by chamomile and hints of wet stone. It soothes with soft textures and a juicy persona, blending ripe nectarines with a saline mineral tinge toward the close. A citrusy concentration puckers the cheeks, tapering off long with a sense of refinement. Gorgeous today, the 2023 is sure to excel through medium-term cellaring."
