Vinous

87-89 POINTS

The 2022 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc, pure Sauvignon Blanc, has a fresh citrus peel and apple blossom scented nose, with just a hint of melted wax. The palate is well balanced and generous, with a tropical entry, guava and mango, and yellow plum toward the finish. Maybe just missing a little length - this won't need much aging.

97-98 POINTS

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, 5% semillon and 5% sauvignon gris. (2023)

95-97 POINTS

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. (05/2023)

93-95 POINTS

The 2022 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Semillon, and 5% Sauvignon Gris, with a yield of 24 hl/ha and aging in 50% new oak. It bursts from the glass with bold notions of Bosc pears, grapefruit oil, and white peaches, followed by wafts of coriander seed, sea spray, and wet pebbles. The medium-bodied palate is charged with a lively backbone, supporting the generous stone fruit and pear flavors, finishing long and chalky. (05/2023)

Parker – Wine Advocate

93-95+ POINTS

It appears likely that the 2022 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc will overtake its 2019 counterpart as one of the most successful white wines this estate has produced to date, something that's especially impressive in the context of the vintage. Exhibiting aromas of linden, menthol, crisp orchard fruit and smoke, it’s medium to full-bodied, fleshy and crystalline, with racy acids and an unctuos mid-palate. Chalky structuring dry extract makes its presence felt on the long, mineral finish. This is a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sémillon and 5% Sauvignon Gris.

Was wollen denn die Skihasen hier??

Das haben sicher viele vom Bordelaiser Establishment gedacht. Na, das Pessac-Léognan mal so richtig entstauben.

Weinbau gab es hier schon seit dem 14. Jahrhundert. Im 18. Jahrhundert setzte sich der Schotte und neue Be ...
