Made from five parcels of vines, all of them in Pauillac, Château Mouton-Rothschild’s white was picked early to retain acidity. Sappy, leesy and fresh, with a kiss of vanilla spice and notes of lemongrass and white pepper. Only 18,000 bottles made, alas. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2017-2022
Lovely florality and fine white fruits with a citrussy lift. The potential complexity will be interesting to follow. Apr 2016, Steven Spurrier, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2017-2025
The 2015 Aile d'Argent, Mouton Rothschild's dry white, is 55% Sauvignon Blanc, 43% Sémillon, 2% Muscadelle, is laced with attractive scents of white flowers, lemon and grapefruit. The fruit was brought in between September 2 and 9 which helps keep the flavors fresh, while a dollop of Muscadelle and a small amount of malolactic fermentation gives the Aile d’Argent its characteristic sweetness.
