This has almost an edge of sherry to the attack, shot through with gorgeous freshness through the mid-palate accompanied by white flowers and nectarines, adding light and juice. It has great persistency and is clearly an extremely good quality wine that's not going anywhere for a good few years. It's not as immediately joyous as the 2015 was in bottle at last year's tasting, but they have still managed to capture the lush signature of this white.

The 2016 Aile d'Argent underwent a high percentage of malolactic fermentation (27%). It has a generous, expressive bouquet of honeysuckle, beeswax and lime flower aromas, and just a light oily/Riesling note in the background. The palate is well balanced and crisp, with a fine line of acidity and a touch of stem ginger and orange peel toward the finish. This is beautifully balanced and long, and while not quite in the league of the 2015 Aile d'Argent, it is seriously delicious.

Wine Advocate
Blended of 53% Sauvignon Blanc, 46% Sémillon and 1% Muscadelle, the 2016 Aile d'Argent comes charging forth with tropical fruit notes of guava and pineapple plus peach preserves, lemongrass, candied ginger and orange blossoms with a waft of clover honey. Medium-bodied, the palate is broad and rich with just enough freshness, finishing on a savory note.

Wine Spectator
Bold, delivering apricot, melon and pear flavors gilded with a warm piecrust note. There's a light hazelnut hint through the finish, where the fruit plays out easily. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Drink now.

Wine Enthusiast
Creamy, with almost tropical flavors, this wine is also fresh with some gooseberry and herbal edges. The combination makes for a bright wine that also has weight and a touch of toastiness. Drink now.
