What the critics say:
"The 2024 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is complex, dynamic and an absolute delight. Everything about the 2024 speaks to class. Brisk acids drive through a core of citrus fruit, almond, mint, chamomile and white pepper. More than anything else, I admire the wine's tension and energy. Clean saline notes extend the dry, bracing finish."
"Pale straw yellow, silver reflections. Smoky, fine herbal savouriness, delicate hints of candied grapefruit, white peach, nuances of gooseberry, attractive bouquet. Juicy, very precise and clear, fine yellow fruit nuances, elegant, fresh, well-balanced acidity, crystalline minerality, very good length, sure and certain ageing potential."
"A gorgeous aromatic blossom of white peaches, peach pit, sage, apple blossom, soft clove and white truffle spices, gentle lift through the palate, a wonderfully fragrant, generous but finessed Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc, with so much depth and length. 50% new oak for ageing, harvest August 29 to September 13, 3.2ph. Energy maintained through the palate, up there with one of the whites of the vintage."
