The impressive ripeness and intensity combined with elegance and finesse are what make this wonderful white. Honeysuckle, apricots, glazed grapefruit, spices and nutmeg. Medium to full body and fleshy fruit that’s lifted by the delicious acidity to the long finish.
The only part of the Mouton vines that had some frost in 2017, yet maintaining its signature rich round flavours of creamy citrus and powerful white peach and pear notes. A bitter saffron point gives focus and lift on the finish. This is a brilliant Aile d'Argent, wonderfully balanced with real complexity, offering volume and structure through the palate and a saline-streaked juicy finish.

The 2017 Aile d’Argent is slightly deeper in colour than the 2018. Philippe Dhalluin told me that it underwent partial (14%) malolactic fermentation. It has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet, touches of Nashi pear and wet wool. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine bead of acidity, slightly waxy in texture, spicy with veins of stem ginger towards the persistent finish. This is one of the best Aile d’Argent that I have tasted in recent years. Recommended. Readers should note that a majority of this production is closed with DIAM.

One-third of the crop for this wine was lost to frost. A blend of 53% Sauvignon Blanc, 46% Sémillon and 1% Muscadelle, the 2017 Aile d'Argent has lovely white peaches, lemon curd and beeswax notes with hints of orange peel, grapefruit and a touch of sage. The palate is light to medium-bodied and bursting with exuberant stone fruit and citrus flavors, with a racy line and a long, peachy finish.

The 2017 Aile d'Argent, Mouton Rothschild's dry white, is creamy and ample in feel. White flowers, apricot, passion fruit, smoke and a range of tropical inflections all run through this textured, exuberant white. Readers will find a white of real phenolic intensity and weight. The blend is 53% Sauvignon Blanc, 46% Sémillon and 1% Muscadelle.

Barrel Sample. With a lovely citrus character and a touch of melon, this is a delicious wine. It is fresh, just hinting at tropical fruit. With its tangy edge, it will be delicious from the end of 2018.
