Four hectares of vines located on Mouton Rothschild land, were planted with a classic blend of white grape varieties (Sémillon, Sauvignon blanc and Muscadelle) in the 1980s. The wine produced here was named Aile d'Argent in reference to a children's tale written by the Baron Philippe de Rothschild for his daughter Philippine, published by Gallimard in 1947: "Aile d'Argent la magique".
The Aile D'Argent Blanc 2021 is 64% Sauvignon and 36% Semillon brought up in 45% new barrels. Ripe melon, honeyed almond, chalky, and bright grapefruit notes all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied, with wonderful purity, a great mid-palate, and one heck of a finish.
