James Suckling: A serious Aile d'Argent with sliced green mangoes, pears and green apples. Full-bodied. Framed with phenolics and minerals. Complex and real. A touch of flint and cedar at the end. Super finish. A blend of 63% sauvignon blanc, 29% semillion, 7% sauvignon gris and 1% muscadelle."

Decanter: Fragrant, floral and full of fruity aromas on the nose - grassy too, with elderflower, crisp green apple and peach. Lively and tangy, this has acidity and a certain weight that kicks in almost straight away but is perfectly matched to ripe, just-fleshy apple and white plum fruit with a clean, very clear salty ending. It’s a little subdued after the initial burst of flavour, but there’s something really quite delicate and finessed about this. Cool and fresh, finishes chalky. No hot fruit/tropical characteristics. Lovely. Earliest ever harvest. No malolactic fermentation. 1% Muscadelle completes the blend. 3.13pH."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: The 2025 Aile d'Argent pops from the glass with vivacious notes of Bosc pears, white peaches, and pink grapefruit, giving way to hints of honeysuckle, orange peel, and beeswax with a touch of jasmine tea. Medium-bodied, the palate is satiny-textured and crisp with intense orchard fruit flavors and a long, fragrant finish. The blend is 63% Sauvignon Blanc, 29% Sémillon, 7% Sauvignon Gris, and 1% Muscadelle. It has a pH of 3.13, and the alcohol is 13.6%. It is due to age in French oak barrels for 9 months (45% new). No malolactic was performed this year."

Jeb Dunnuck: A blend of 63% Sauvignon Blanc, 29% Sémillon, 7% Sauvignon Gris, and a splash of Muscadelle, the 2025 Château Mouton Rothschild Aile D'Argent Blanc offers bright green citrus, crushed stone, minty herb, and savory aromatics, with an incredibly mineral-driven character. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with bright, racy acidity and a clean finish. This exotic, complex, perfumed white is going to benefit from a few years in the cellar and I suspect have a long drinking window."

Falstaff: Helles Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Frischer grüner Apfel, ein Hauch von Mango, zart nach Guter-Louis-Birne, dezente Wiesenkräuter, ein Hauch von Holzwürze. Saftig, straff, zart nach Ananas, gute Komplexität, weißes Kernobst im Abgang, mineralisch-zitroniger Nachhall."
