VINS BLANCS
171. Aile d’Argent Blanc, Bordeaux “The 2021 Aile d’Argent has a more Sauvignon-driven bouquet with lime flower, orange pith, a hint of grapefruit and gooseberry. The palate is well-balanced with a spicy entry, just a hint of ginger, well-balanced with a saline finish. This is absolutely delicious.” Drink 2025 - 2036 91-93 pts, Vinous 412000 $225 172. Château Brown Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan “Slightly toasty nose, the waxy, honeyed and perfumed Semillon also stands out. Nice weight and texture on the palate, a little thicker and more oily than some others but with just as high, mouthwatering acidity giving weight and texture. Green apple, bitter lemon and orange, gooseberry, and pineapple. More of a serious take, this feels like it will age and will be good with richer foods.” Drink 2024 - 2032 91 pts, Decanter 435854 $70 173. Château Carbonnieux Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan “Bright and tangy, high acidity with a crispness to the expression - fresh green apple. Almost too tart for me, but it’s lifted with lots of energy and a really sherbet-esque edge to the palate which gives character. Lots of citrus lemon and lime adding to the flavours and lingering on the finish.” Drink 2024 - 2034 91 pts, Decanter 411924 $85
