Description

The freshness and elegance of a great Pauillac white wine

A superb expression of the great terroirs of Pauillac, the Aile D'Argent is the white grand vin of the prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classé Château Mouton Rothschild and the 2018 vintage is in line with the most beautiful references of the Bordeaux Blancs Secs appellation of Bordeaux.

Produced in very limited quantities, the Château Mouton Rothschild Aile D’Argent is an important symbol. It was Philippine de Rothschild who replanted the estate vineyards with a few acres of white grapes in the early 80s, in order to revive the tradition of the Médoc white grand vin.

A year marked by strong climatic contrasts, with heavy rainfall in the first half, the vintage required all the efforts and know-how of the technical teams of Château Mouton Rothschild. A beautiful summer arrived in July, foreshadowing the birth of a great vintage. At Château Mouton Rothschild, the white grape harvest lasted from August 30 to September 5.

A blend of Sauvignon Blanc (55%) and Semillon (45%), the Aile D’Argent 2018 from Château Mouton Rothschild reveals a bright yellow colour, with shimmering green highlights. Intensely expressive and complex, the aromatic bouquet opens on citrus notes, and notes of stone fruits (peach), while a beautiful minerality appears next. On the palate, the wine offers a superbly dense texture, evolving great smoothness. Delicate and gourmand notes of exotic fruit interspersed with spice notes – fresh ginger and white pepper - succeed each other, while the minerality of the terroir is expressed in hints of flint. With great freshness and elegance, the palate extends into a beautifully long finish. A great Pauillac white wine signed by Château Mouton Rothschild.
