Producer

The Château Mouton Rothschild vineyard stretches across clay-limestone soils, ideal for the flourishing of typical Bordeaux grape varieties. The meticulously tended vines benefit from a temperate oceanic climate, promoting slow and even ripening of the grapes. This sustainable approach to viticulture preserves biodiversity and optimizes the quality of the grapes, revealing the full richness of the terroir in every bottle.

Owner and history

Today, Château Mouton Rothschild is managed by the Rothschild family, who perpetuate the tradition of excellence initiated by Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Under their leadership, the estate has innovated while respecting its heritage. A passion for wine and respect for the environment are at the heart of their philosophy. Each vintage is the result of teamwork, where every member contributes to the growth of this wine institution, paying homage to its history while looking towards the future.

Vinification and aging

The winemaking of Aile d'Argent 2020 reflects the expertise of Château Mouton Rothschild. The hand-harvested grapes are carefully selected before pressing. The must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness and purity of the aromas. Aging on fine lees for several months gives the wine a creamy texture and enriched aromatic complexity. This meticulous process guarantees a perfect balance between fruitiness and minerality.

The team's opinion

L'Aile d'Argent 2020 is the confidential dry white wine of Château Mouton Rothschild. Although it bears the "simple" appellation AOC Bordeaux Blanc (because the 1855 classification in Pauillac only concerns red wines), it is treated with the same exacting standards as the Grand Vin. The 2020 vintage is considered a great success, also marking the first year under the complete direction of Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy.
