Château Mouton Rothschild Bordeaux Aile d'Argent Blanc 2010

Chateau Mouton Rothschild Bordeaux Aile d'Argent White 2010

69.00 € Tax included

Aile d'Argent is an exceptional cuvée, a great white wine produced by Château Mouton-Rothschild, 1er Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac to Bordeaux and one of the most renowned wine estates in the world.

This 2010 vintage offers a pale yellow colour with brilliant reflections. The nose, of great freshness, opens with notes of exotic fruits such as pineapple and lychee and evolves into aromas of fresh fruit reminiscent of peach and apricot. The palate is full and incredibly round. There are fruity aromas mixed with a range of floral notes such as acacia in association with a hint of minerality. The finish, long and greedy, elegantly characterizes the marriage of Sauvignon and Sémillon.


In the early 1980s, Philippine de Rothschild revived an old Médoc tradition and planted 4 hectares of white grape vines on the Mouton terroir. Silver Wing, two unusual words, a link between the past and the present, between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and his daughter Baroness Philippine: when she was a little girl, Baron Philippe had imagined a tale for her whose heroine was a magical teapot called Aile d'Argent.
