Skips out with vibrant notes of lime blossom, green apples, and fresh grapefruit with hints of pineapple and fresh pears. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers great intensity and tension with a silky texture and long tangy finish. Yum!

The 2024 Aile d'Argent is very fine. Silky, aromatic and brisk, the 2024 is impeccably done. White pepper, chalk, slate, mint, lemon peel and marzipan are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. Attractive tropical overtones from the Sauvignon Gris add lift. There's a bit more lees-stirring than in most years, and also a bit of malolactic fermentation, both of which work so well within the wine's framework. Drink: 2026-2030

Complex and bright, showing sea urchins, lemon zest, spices and subtle cream. Medium-bodied with a sense of chalkiness to the middle. Lightly saline and quite long. There is no baby fat here. 54.5% sauvignon blanc, 33% semillon and 12.5% sauvignon gris. Aged in 45% new wood barrels.
