    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Aile d'Argent Blanc, 2022

    52% Sauvignon Blanc, 39% Semillon, 8% Semillon Gris, 2% Muscadelle, Mouton’s Aile d’Argent comes from the western part of the vineyard where the soils are rich in clay and gravel. Alluring and well put-together with an embrace of fully ripe, harmonious fruit – neither overly dense nor austere and simple, the Aile is framed by a trace of top quality wood, leading in to a long, shimmering finish.

    Great depth and freshness, fleshy nectarine and spiced pear, fennel and oyster shell, grilled oak and genersoity. Balances salinity and flesh, expertly judged. Harvest August 29 to September 6, 45% new oak for ageing. Co-fermented Muscadelle with Sauvignon Gris.

    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.
