The 2010 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is drinking brilliantly, with a mature yet still fresh and vibrant style. Crushed citrus, mint, honeyed lime, and mandarin orange zest all emerge from this full-bodied, concentrated, layered dry white Bordeaux. It blossoms with time in the glass, has beautiful mid-palate depth and concentration, and a remarkable sense of freshness and precision. Readers looking to understand what truly great, mature Bordeaux Blanc is all about should seek this beauty out. I love it today, yet suspect it will evolve for another 10-15 years.
A stunning wine with hints of pineapple, caramelized citrus, mandarin oranges, smoky figs and hazelnuts, this is a full-bodied, rich, superb white Graves from the Cathiard family. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2035.
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.
