  James Suckling
  Spicy and complex with cardamom, green apple, pineapple and dried lime. Hints of white chocolate and mango, too. Medium-to full-bodied, layered and phenolic. Focused and structured, yet very generous and caressing at the same time. Long, driven and exciting. 64% sauvignon (blanc and gris) and 36% semillon."

  Combines a rich intensity to the aromatics and flavours with grip and uplift that keeps things sculpted. A gorgeous wine that delivers layers of apricot, white peach and sage with juicy citrus and edges of liqourice root. 15% malolactic fermentation balances the freshness of the vintage and keeps it very much signature Aile d'Argent, as does the relatively high proportion of Sauvignon Gris. No Muscadelle in the blend from this vintage. 45% new barrels for ageing, harvest September 6 to 20."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  Notes of white peach, ginger, flowers and lemon curd are all over the place. The wine is sweet, fresh and filled with even more of those ripe, sweet, white peaches and pomelo in the zesty finish. You can enjoy this on release. The wine was made from a blend of 45% Sauvignon Blanc, 36% Semillon and 19% Sauvignon Gris. Drink from 2023-2030."

  Mittleres Gelbgrün, silberfarbene Reflexe. Frische Stachelbeeren und Holunderblüten, unterlegt mit weißer Birne, ein Hauch von Grapefruitzesten, facettenreiches Bukett. Mittlere Komplexität, feine Fruchtsüße, etwas Kernobst, eingebundene Säurestruktur, mineralisch und gut anhaftend, zarte Karamellnoten im Nachhall, ein saftiger, eleganter Speisenbegleiter.

  Weinwisser
  64 % Sauvignon Blanc, 36 % Sémillon, 13,2 Vol.-%. Betörendes Bouquet, reifer Weinbergpfirsich, Zitronenmelisse, eingelegte Nektarine und weiße Blüten. Am pfeffrigen Gaumen mit vibrierender Rasse, fein salzigem Extrakt und schlankem Körper. Im gebündelt aromatischen Finale weißer Pfeffer, Limonenessenz und Schlüsselblumen."

  Exotic aromas of quince, white chocolate and cocoa butter leap from the glass along with rather evolved notes (for such a young wine) of toffee and truffle. Good depth and concentration. 45% Sauvignon Blanc, 36% Semillon, 19% Sauvignon Gris, aged in 45% new oak. Enjoy with fettuccine and seared scallops in a parmesan cream sauce with truffle."

  The Wine Advocate
  Bursting with aromas of confit citrus, nectarine, grapefruit and pastry cream, the 2021 Aile d'Argent is a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine that's ample and textural, and indeed a touch fat, despite the cooler vintage. It's a blend of 45% Sauvignon Blanc, 19% Sauvignon Gris and the balance Sémillon."

  irst bottle: simple candied nose and rather hard on the end. Astringent. But Sebastian (Payne) assures us that eventually it gets better; hence my suggested drinking date. Second bottle: still quite simple but fresher than the first bottle."
