LE PETIT SMITH HAUT LAFITTE BLANC 2nd wine of Ch. Smith Haut Lafitte Pessac-Leognan 2023 Bottle

Description

This elegant second wine showcases the finesse and character of Pessac-Léognan's white wines. Pale gold in colour with green reflections, it offers an enticing bouquet of citrus blossom, white peach, and subtle hints of vanilla. On the palate, it's crisp and refreshing, with a harmonious blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes. Flavours of ripe grapefruit, lemon zest, and green apple are complemented by delicate notes of white flowers and a touch of oak. The wine's vibrant acidity provides excellent structure, whilst a subtle mineral undertone adds complexity. The finish is long and clean, with lingering citrus and floral notes. Whilst enjoyable in its youth, this wine has the potential to develop beautifully over the next 5-7 years. An excellent pairing for seafood dishes, goat's cheese, or as a sophisticated aperitif.
