(93 - 95) There was no malolactic fermentation and no Muscadelle this year—both unusual for Aile d’Argent. Composed of 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Sémillon (harvested August 30 to September 5), the 2018 Aile d'Argent has 13% alcohol and is a little reticent to begin, offering fragrant notions of lemongrass, freshly chopped ginger and lemon tart with a core of fresh pineapples, white peaches and aniseed. The palate is rich, sultry and exotic with loads of spices and tropical fruit and an electric backbone of acid, finishing very long.- LPB

Always a more exotic, richly textured style of Bordeaux white wine, and it suits the exuberance of the 2018 vintage. Still young at three years old, dripping with nectarine, apricot pit, saffron and orange peel. It's at a lovely stage right now, with the savoury clean-feeling slate and lime coming out clearly. Harvest from 30 August 30 to September 5, unusually no Muscadelle in this vintage due to the dry summer, and no malolactic fermentation carried out at any stage to keep feshness. Personally, I think it benefits from this.

Honeysuckle, orange peel, pineapple, pears and vanilla shine with little effort. The balance between the yellow citrus, hints of tropical fruits and freshness on the palate brings it all together. The wine will be perfect when paired with all types of fresh seafood dishes. The wine was made from a blend of 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Semillon.

This is a delicious wine that has been extremely well handled with complexity and a long drawn out finish. It’s wonderfully fresh with touches of aniseed and flint alongside citrus and sweet pear flesh alongside an underlying spice doing a great job of providing focus and lift. To maintain freshness, no malolactic fermentation was carried out on any of the white grapes this year – in most years Aile d'Argent has maybe 10% malo, and no Muscadelle was used as it didn't succeed as well as they'd hoped in the dry summer. The harvest took place between 30 August 30 and 5 September.

90-92 The 2018 Aile D'Argent Blanc offers good freshness and purity as well as some tropical hints in its tart peach, pineapple, and crushed citrus aromas and flavors. It's beautifully balanced and has a fresh, clean, crisp style ideal for drinking over the coming couple of years.
