Expert Reviews
Aromas of sliced apples, Asian pears, crushed stones and hints of lemon blossoms, honeysuckle and lime zest. Medium- to full-bodied with such energy and purity, and just the right hints of cream, yogurt and cooked apples. Tense and flavorful, with a phenolic touch at the end and a salty undertone. Impressive balance. Weightless and long. 90% sauvignon blanc, 5% sauvignon gris and 5% semillon. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Checking in as 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sauvignon Gris, and 5% Semillon, the 2023 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is just gorgeous, offering white peach, honeyed orange, brioche, mint, and chalky minerality on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate and has bright acidity, a lively, elegant mouthfeel, and a great, salty finish that makes you salivate. It will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and have two decades of prime drinking. Drink 2028-2045.
