A dense, layered white with lots of exotic fruit, from mangoes to pineapple. Tart tartine. Hints of coconut and orange jam. Full-bodied, very deep and flavored. Fantastic intensity and length. Goes on for minutes. Great, white-Burgundy sensibility to this. A blend of 53% Sauvignon, 46% semillon and 1% Muscadelle. Fabulous already, but much better in 2025.

A plump style, featuring lemon curd, pear and shortbread notes starting to define themselves, with white peach and honeysuckle accents.—J.M.

One-third of the crop for this wine was lost to frost. A blend of 53% Sauvignon Blanc, 46% Sémillon and 1% Muscadelle, the 2017 Aile d'Argent has lovely white peaches, lemon curd and beeswax notes with hints of orange peel, grapefruit and a touch of sage. The palate is light to medium-bodied and bursting with exuberant stone fruit and citrus flavors, with a racy line and a long, peachy finish.
