Chateau Mouton Rothschild Aile d'Argent 2016

The wine is a lustrous, intense yellow.

The nose opens on mango and citrus fruit before developing flint and fruit‑drop notes, enhanced by fresh fruit aromas reminiscent of white peach.

From a full and well-balanced attack, the mid-palate reveals expansive ripe fruit flavours along with a suggestion of salinity, ending on a supple and long finish.

Another success for the white wines of the Médoc, this is lovely with true freshness expertly pulled together under tension, contrasting with the roundness through the mid-palate. Clear, fleshy white peach and soft citrus is pulled in on the finish by a lick of wet stone. 53% Sauvignon Blanc, 46% Semillon and 1% Muscadelle. 27% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation to ensure a creamy character to the body.
