Understanding Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, Blanc, Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux

Crafted from the estate's finest Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Sauvignon Gris vines, Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc benefits from the unique gravelly soils and microclimate of Pessac-Léognan. The grapes are carefully selected and harvested at peak ripeness to ensure the wine's characteristic freshness and vibrancy. The winemaking process at Château Smith Haut Lafitte is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, with fermentation taking place in both oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks to preserve the varietal purity and terroir expression. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, to add complexity and depth without compromising the wine's natural aromatic profile. Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc features citrus, tropical fruits, subtle floral notes and a mineral edge in a richly-textured palate balanced by a lively acidity. This wine has excellent ageing potential.
