Notes of pear, mint, flowers, citrus and boxwood preface the 2024 Aile d'Argent, a moderately weighted, rich and satiny wine that's ample, framed by bright acids with a gently green finish, a consequence of the vintage's climatology. This is a blend of 54.5% Sauvignon Blanc and the rest Sémillon with a pH of 3.05.

Complex and bright, showing sea urchins, lemon zest, spices and subtle cream. Medium-bodied with a sense of chalkiness to the middle. Lightly saline and quite long. There is no baby fat here. 54.5% sauvignon blanc, 33% semillon and 12.5% sauvignon gris. Aged in 45% new wood barrels.

Fragrant and floral with citrus and exotic-fruit notes as well. Good depth of fruit. Lively and fresh with line and length. Persistent. Lovely balance. Good potential. Quality but at a price.

The 2024 Aile d'Argent is very fine. Silky, aromatic and brisk, the 2024 is impeccably done. White pepper, chalk, slate, mint, lemon peel and marzipan are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. Attractive tropical overtones from the Sauvignon Gris add lift. There's a bit more lees-stirring than in most years, and also a bit of malolactic fermentation, both of which work so well within the wine's framework.

The 2024 Château Mouton Rothschild Aile D'Argent Blanc is beautiful, with crisp citrus, grapefruit and sappy, floral nuances in a medium-bodied, fresh, focused style. I love its overall balance, and it has integrated, clean acidity, and a great finish.

Pale golden yellow, silver reflections. Delicate yellow tropical fruit, nuances of mango and pear, a hint of blossom honey, candied lime, inviting bouquet. Juicy, elegant, white tropical fruit, finesse-rich structure, a hint of gooseberries, a very balanced, fresh food wine, already very seductive.
