critic reviews
A blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon, Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 2023 is aging in 50% new oak. It shoots from the glass with vibrant scents of yellow apples, lemon grass, and juicy pears, leading to nuances of candle wax and coriander seed. Medium-bodied, the palate is soft-textured, with a lively backbone and layers of savory flavors, finishing on a spicy note.
A little more gunsmoke and slate than the Hauts de Smith, with a structure and salinity that takes you to a more serous level, still with the easy pleasure of ripe citrus and pear fruits. Excellent quality, 36hl/h yields.
The 2023 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon. It has a more complex and refined bouquet compared to the Les Haut Blanc: dried pineapple, peach skin and yellow plum. Lovely. The palate is very well balanced with a slightly waxy texture, a keen line of acidity and a fresh, Golden Delicious- and ginger-tinged finish. Recommended.
As usual, a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon matured 50% in new oak, the 2023 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc offers up aromas of spring flowers, citrus, lime tree leaves and menthol. Medium-bodied, satiny and round, its satiny with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and an elegant, ethereal finish enhanced by gastronomic bitterness. It will offer a broad drinking window.
