    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Aile d’argent A blend of 54% Sauvignon Blanc 33% Semillon and 13% Sauvignon Gris, harvested between the 9th and the 20th September. "You could pick when you wanted" was the view of the Mouton team, and they clearly waited for proper ripeness, whereas with some white wines this vintage we sensed they had been picked early in a panic, not fully ripe. The quality of wine reflects the quality of the broader Mouton range and evidences just how on it this team are. Harmonious and complete, this has proper substance, alongside real vitality - fragrant Sicilian lemon and orange blossom aromas precede a palate of real depth and energy; a well-rounded fleshy texture of stone fruits and mirabelle, with a ripe note of gooseberry fool, encircled but crisp citrusy acids. Very accomplished.

    Skips out with vibrant notes of lime blossom, green apples, and fresh grapefruit with hints of pineapple and fresh pears. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers great intensity and tension with a silky texture and long tangy finish. Yum!

    A little more strict than other Left Bank whites, the 2024 Aile d'Argent has a bright nose with lime flower, Conference pear and light peach skin scents. The palate is well balanced with a citrus-infused entry, a keen line of acidity and a dab of ginger on the finish.

    Beautiful aromatics, this is a gorgeous wine, with white peach, pear, lemon peel, capsicum, sage spices, gunsmoke, apple orchard. Extremely elegant and finessed, builds through the palate, a slow slow build that layers on grated ginger, lemongrass, white pepper, cold ash, gunsmoke... sublte layers that set it apart. Harvest 9 to 20 September. 3.05 pH. 45% new oak. Just 6.5% malolactic only on Sauvignon Blanc, with more lees stirring than in a normal year.

    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 Semillon with a pH of 3.05.
