Note di degustazione
While the 2021 Les Hauts De Smith Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, you'd be hard pressed to guess it blind, and it has enough richness and depth to make you think there's at least a splash of Sémillon in there. Minty herbs, minerals, and lime notes all define the aromatics, and it’s medium-bodied, with a vibrant, refreshing style that carries good concentration and bright acidity.

The 2021 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc, which is pure Sauvignon Blanc, has a well-defined bouquet with touches of yellow fruit and white flowers, gradually opening up in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a taut and linear opening. It’s fresh on the finish, but the Le Petit exhibits a little more weight on the close.
The 2021 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, mostly from young vines. It’s fresh and bright, with terrific texture. A touch of reduction requires some aeration to dissipate, but it does, blowing off to reveal citrus peel, jasmine, white pepper and mint. There’s great balance, tension and class here.
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.
