Château Mouton Rothschild
Renewing an ancestral tradition in the Médoc, in the early 1980s, Philippine de Rothschild decided to plant, on sandy and gravelly soils, a few plots of the vineyard with white grape varieties. Half of the wine matured in new oak barrels. Rich, complex, and elegant, Aile d’Argent, although produced in very limited quantities, quickly became a benchmark for lovers of great Bordeaux white wines.
“Aile d’Argent… two unusual words that emerged from the depths of time, a link between the past and the present, between my father, Baron Philippe de Rothschild, and me.
When I was a little girl, my father made up a fairy tale for me, the hero of which was a magic teapot… the teapot was called Aile d’Argent, Silver Wing. War broke out, my father was arrested. In prison, from memory, he wrote the story, which he called Aile d’Argent la Magique, the title under which it was published by Gallimard in 1947.
I am happy that the words that once inspired my dreams have taken form and color again.”
– Philippine de Rothschild
The harvest took place between September 12 and 18, with a composition of 57% Sauvignon Blanc and 43% Sémillon.
