This zooms over the palate from the minute you taste it with energetic acidity grapefruit pear lemon and white peach character. Dried candied lemon. Crushed stone too. Medium-bodied with polish and class. 90% sauvignon blanc

The flagship 2022 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is a normal blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% each of Sauvignon Gris and Sémillon. Aged in 55% new French oak it shines in the vintage and brings plenty of classic richness and depth while at the same time staying pure clean and balanced. Honeyed lemon orange blossom white flowers and crushed stone all define the aromatics and it has a beautiful mouthfeel that certainly brings the richness and depth of the vintage. This is another gem of a white from this incredible château.

The 2022 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is airy weightless and gracious. Citrus confit mint white pepper and tangerine oil and a kiss of French oak are all beautifully lifted. There?s lovely richness and texture but without the opulence of most warm dry years. The 2022 will be a gorgeous wine at the dinner table.
