    The Château Mouton Rothschild vineyard stretches across clay-limestone soils, ideal for the flourishing of typical Bordeaux grape varieties. The meticulously tended vines benefit from a temperate oceanic climate, promoting slow and even ripening of the grapes. This sustainable approach to viticulture preserves biodiversity and optimizes the quality of the grapes, revealing the full richness of the terroir in every bottle.

    Owner and history

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking of Aile d'Argent 2020 reflects the expertise of Château Mouton Rothschild. The hand-harvested grapes are carefully selected before pressing.

Aging on fine lees for several months gives the wine a creamy texture and enriched aromatic complexity. This meticulous process guarantees a perfect balance between fruitiness and minerality.
