2023 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc

Good vibration here, with edgy, fresh acidity that makes it long and vivid. It's medium-bodied and tight, with sliced lemon and green apple and stone character. Better than 2022? 80% sauvignon blanc and 20% semillon. (04/2024)

The 2023 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc checks in as 80% Sauvignon and 20% Semillon, brought up in 50% new French oak. It's dramatically different, with a bigger, richer, more rounded style, yet it still brings beautiful freshness and acidity. Lemon, bright citrus, spice, and mint all shine in this beauty, and it’s beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, and flawlessly balanced. (05/2024)
