A delightful white wine offering from Château Smith Haut Lafitte, Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc captures the essence of Bordeaux's Graves region with its freshness and finesse.
The château overlooks the vines from atop a hill (or “la fitte” in local dialect) composed of river stones and semi-precious pebbles deposited by the Garonne millions of years ago.
Consisting of günz gravel, Smith Haut Lafitte’s terroir has two astonishing features: superb natural drainage forcing the vine roots to sink deep into the soil in order to find nourishment, and a “mirror effect” of the sun’s rays reflected by the gravelly soil.

What the critics say:
"A dense, layered white with cooked-apple, honey and lemon aromas and flavors. Layered and flavorful with a zingy, mineral finish. 80% sauvignon with 20% semillon."
"The 2020 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc has a complex, floral bouquet with pressed white flowers, citrus peel and pear, quite expressive thanks to the 20% Sémillon. The palate is well balanced with a lovely honeyed texture, fine acidity, orange rind and peach skin, touches of grapefruit and stem ginger towards the finish. This feels long on the finish - excellent."
