This has so much blossom honey and white flowers with limes and other citrus. Stone and mineral undertones. Subtle passion fruit. A truly complex and great nose. Full-bodied and compact with fruit, phenolics and fresh acidity. Just a touch of sea salt. Very long and persistent. If you close your eyes, it’s like a great red wine. One of the best whites ever to come from here. 90% sauvignon blanc, 5% semillon, 5% sauvignon gris. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

At this early stage, the 2021 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc appears set to number among the best white wines this estate has produced to date. Wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, nectarine, grapefruit, pastry cream and smoke, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit, racy acids and a taut, chiseled profile, concluding with a saline finish. Balancing texture and tension to compelling effect, this beautifully integrated, characterful white is going to be thrilling to revisit in bottle.<br/>

Château Smith Haut Lafitte
Domaine le plus caractéristique des Graves, le Château Smith Haut Lafitte se dresse le long de la crête graveleuse la plus célèbre de l’appellation Pessac-Léognan. Propriété du négociant bordelais Eschenauer des années durant, il a été repris en 1990, par l’ancien champion de ski Daniel Cathiard, et son épouse Florence. Depuis, ce Grand Cru Classé continue à faire l’objet d’améliorations qualitatives. Les Cathiard ont choisi la conduite biologique pour leur vignoble et ont modernisé leurs techniques de vinification. Sur les 78 hectares de vignes, 67 sont dédiés à l’encépagement en rouge, les 11 hectares restants étant consacrés aux blancs. Le Smith Haut Lafitte rouge constitue toujours le summum de leur production. Assemblage de cabernet-sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc et petit verdot, son profil relativement léger n’enfreint en rien sa profondeur impressionnante. Le Smith Haut Lafitte blanc, lui aussi non filtré et fermenté en barrique, conserve le noyau floral et végétal typique des vins de ce terroir unique.
