AILE d'ARGENT
Dry white wine from Château Mouton-Rothschild
- 2023 Futures
- Bordeaux dry white
The dry white wine of Mouton-Rothschild, very confidential (1000 cases produced per year).
Quarin : 93/100 « Couleur jaune vert. Nez intense, fin, fruité, suave et mentholé. Bouche tout à la fois grasse, opulente et séveuse. Elle évolue fraîche et légèrement mentholée en finale. Ensemble impossible à cracher. »
Galloni : 92-94/100 « The 2023 Aile d'Argent is a rich, heady, wine that very much captures the radiant style of the year in its generous textural feel. Tangerine peel, spice, menthol, lime, dried flowers and light tropical accents abound, The 2023 is a serious dry white. There's a bit more Sémillon in the blend and a greater emphasis on texture and structure than usual, while the oak imprint and exotic character of some previous editions have been toned down. »
Martin : 91-93/100 « The 2023 Aile d'Argent contains a little more Sémillon than usual (44.5%) to add texture to the blend. It has a lovely bouquet with grapefruit, hints of lime cordial, chamomile and lanolin. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and focused, with just a slight bitter lemon note imparting tension. A hint of ginger rises on the aftertaste. Superb. »
