Note di degustazione
A serious, concentrated white, the 2023 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is based on 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon and displays a slightly deeper gold hue compared to the Les Hauts de Smith Blanc. Stone fruits, honeyed orange, spice, and minerality all emerge from the bouquet, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a layered, concentrated profile and a great finish. Give it a year in the cellar and enjoy over the following decade. Drink 2027-2037.

The 2023 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc is gorgeous. Rich and creamy, the 2023 is super impressive right out of the gate. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers and dried herbs race across the palate. Its phenolic intensity and structure are an ideal match for rich flavors at the dinner table.
The 2023 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc has a more complex nose than the Les Hauts de Smith Blanc, yellow fruit mixed with mirin and jasmine, well-defined and focused. The palate is well balanced with a less creamy texture, higher acidity and tension, a healthy dash of ginger toward the finish. Again, this has an attractive texture and should age well in bottle.
The 2023 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc checks in as 80% Sauvignon and 20% Semillon, brought up in 50% new French oak. It's dramatically different, with a bigger, richer, more rounded style, yet it still brings beautiful freshness and acidity. Lemon, bright citrus, spice, and mint all shine in this beauty, and it’s beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, and flawlessly balanced.
Informazioni sul produttore
Ch. Smith Haut Lafitte è oggi uno dei protagonisti di Pessac-Léognan, tutto grazie a Daniel e Florence Cathiard, che rilevarono la proprietà nel 1990 e da allora hanno trasformato la tenuta, convertendosi alla biodinamica e producendo vini di crescente finezza.
