The Le Petit Haut Lafitte Pessac-Léognan Blanc 2023 is the refined and vibrant white second wine of Château Smith Haut-Lafitte. This cuvée combines freshness, aromatic precision, and elegance, offering an accessible introduction to the estate’s style.
In the glass, the wine displays a bright pale-yellow colour with green highlights. The nose is expressive and pure, revealing aromas of citrus fruits, lime, and white peach, complemented by floral notes, subtle minerality, and a delicate touch of oak. On the palate, it is fresh and juicy, with fine tension, lively acidity, and a clean, refreshing finish.
The 2023 vintage focuses on freshness and drinkability, with a beautiful balance between fruit, acidity, and finesse. Ideal for early enjoyment, yet capable of ageing for a few years.
