Château Smith Haut-Lafitte Blanc 2022 : A Vibrant and Mineral-Driven White Bordeaux

Château Smith Haut-Lafitte Blanc 2022 is an exceptional white Bordeaux from the renowned Pessac-Léognan appellation, celebrated for its precision, complexity, and signature smoky minerality.

The 2022 vintage stands out for its balance of ripeness and freshness, producing a wine of both richness and remarkable tension.

In the glass, the wine reveals a pale golden hue with bright, green reflections. The nose is highly expressive and layered, offering aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest, and white peach, alongside notes of mango, acacia flowers, and subtle spice.

Flavors of citrus, orchard fruits, and mineral nuances unfold with precision, leading to a long, saline, and elegant finish.

Critics have highly praised this vintage, with scores reaching up to 97 points, highlighting its harmony, aromatic intensity, and refined structure. It is regarded as one of the standout white wines of the vintage, offering both immediate appeal and strong aging potential over the next decade or more.
