Vinous

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. 04/2025

Vinous

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. 04/2025

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate

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. 04/2025

Couleur pâle, aux reflets jaunes. Nez intense, au fruité légèrement compoté, mâtiné de menthol et de sauvignon. Juteux et large dès l'entrée en bouche, puis savoureux au milieu, le vin fond délicat, délicieux, parfumé, uni et néanmoins nerveux. C'est incrachable. Assemblage : 54,5 % sauvignon blanc, 33 % sémillon, 12,5 % sauvignon gris. Degré d'alcool : 12°8 - pH : 3,05. 04/2025
