Another beautiful white in the vintage, the 2021 Aile D'Argent Blanc is 64% Sauvignon and 36% Semillon brought up in 45% new barrels. Ripe melon, honeyed almond, chalky, and bright grapefruit notes all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied, with wonderful purity, a great mid-palate, and one heck of a finish. I'd buy it.
Barrel Sample: 94-96

Winemaker Notes

The wine is an attractive, crystalline pale yellow with a slightly greenish tinge. The nose expresses great freshness, with succulent aromas of white peach, tropical and citrus fruit and acacia blossom sustained by intense mineral notes. The attack reveals a harmonious combination of fullness and tension on notes of chlorophyll, apricot and flint. The beautifully vibrant mid-palate builds with great uplift towards a lemon-tinged finish.

Blend: 45% Sauvignon Blanc, 36% Semillon, 19% Sauvignon Gris
