Aile d'Argent – Bordeaux Blanc Sec – White – 2021:

 

Aile d’Argent: The Premier Dry White Wine of Château Mouton Rothschild

Aile d’Argent, meaning ‘Silver Wing’, is the highly sought-after dry white wine from the hallowed grounds of Château Mouton Rothschild. Reviving an old Médoc tradition, this wine is made from a small, dedicated vineyard plot and benefits from the same meticulous care and expertise as the estate’s Grand Vin. It is recognized globally as one of Bordeaux’s finest white expressions, known for its depth, elegance, and incredible aging potential.

Tasting Notes & Characteristics

A wine of immense finesse, Aile d’Argent perfectly balances the aromatic intensity of Sauvignon with the waxy, rich texture of Sémillon, enhanced by barrel fermentation:

• Colour: Brilliant, light gold with a youthful sheen.
• Aroma: Rich and layered, presenting notes of honeysuckle, ripe apricot, lime cordial, and delicate oak spice, underlined by a distinctive wet stone minerality.
• Taste: The palate is generous and full, yet defined by a beautiful, fresh acidity. Expect concentrated flavours of nectarine, spiced pear, and lemon curd, culminating in a long, saline, and expertly judged finish that demands another sip.

Food Matching & Serving

This wine should be served cool, but not excessively cold (10-12°C), to allow its complexity to unfold. It excels with luxury seafood:

• Serving Temperature: 10-12°C.
• Drinking Window: Best enjoyed between 5 and 15 years after vintage.
