Descrizione

Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc, coming from the renowned Pessac-Léognan appellation, embodies the elegance and complexity of great Bordeaux whites. This wine is primarily made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris grapes, sometimes blended with a small percentage of Sémillon, grown on gravelly soils that impart minerality and freshness. The aging takes place in French oak barriques, selected to promote a harmonious balance between structure and finesse, without overloading the palate. On the nose, aromas of ripe white fruit, floral notes, and hints of citrus can be perceived, enriched by delicate nuances of vanilla and toast due to the wood. On the palate, the wine is full, enveloping, and persistent, with excellent acidity that guarantees longevity and vigor. Perfect with shellfish, fish carpaccio, or fresh cheeses, Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is a refined experience that highlights the terroir of Pessac-Léognan.
