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.
JEB DUNNUCK 92 POINTS - "Seamless in well-integrated texture, the 2024 Luminesce Semillon Sauvignon Blanc Seven Hills Vineyard is 60% Semillon and 40% Sauvignon Blanc, as per usual, fermented and aged in French oak, 15% new. Golden Delicious apple, peach, fresh hay, and dried herb all contribute to a bright midpalate of sophisticated elegance that finishes generously in white pepper. It should continue to develop over the next 6-8 years."
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 91 POINTS - "The 2024 Luminesce is introduced by a nuanced bouquet of wild flowers, green melon, lemon zest and wet stones. It's round in feel with mineral-laced orchard fruits and a savory herbal thrust as a tinge of young kiwi emerges toward the close. A salty concentration lingers, leaving the mouth salivating for more as hints of sour citrus persist. This is a more delicate rendition of Luminesce, impressing most with its pretty nature."
