Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 2021 embodies the refined elegance of white Bordeaux from one of the region's most respected producers. This exceptional wine represents the second label from the prestigious Château Smith Haut Lafitte, offering outstanding quality and distinctive character.

Crafted from a harmonious blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes grown on the estate's gravelly soils, the 2021 vintage showcases the precision and expertise that define this renowned Pessac-Léognan property. The grapes benefit from careful hand-harvesting and meticulous selection before gentle pressing and fermentation.

In appearance, the white wine presents a brilliant pale gold color with green reflections. The aromatic profile reveals vibrant citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, accompanied by tropical fruit, white peach, and delicate floral nuances. On the palate, Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc delivers exceptional balance with crisp acidity supporting layers of citrus, stone fruit, and subtle hints of vanilla and toast from judicious oak aging.

The wine's precise structure and medium body create a refreshing yet complex mouthfeel, while the finish offers remarkable length with lingering mineral notes. This versatile white Bordeaux pairs beautifully with seafood, particularly oysters and grilled fish, poultry dishes, and goat cheese.
