2024 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc
Buying options
Tasting notes
Coming from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2024 Les Hauts De Smith Blanc has bright lemon and pink grapefruit fruit as well as some minty and floral nuances on the nose. These carry to a vibrant, medium-bodied, crisp, yet nicely balanced and textured white that has a distinct salinity on the finish.

Green stone fruit, kiwis, gooseberries, star fruit and a touch of cream on the nose. Pure and bright, with a medium to full body and a nice balance of fruit intensity and creaminess with the high acidity. Crunchy and flavorful at the same time. Bright, creamy and very long. 100% sauvignon blanc.
Notes of boxwood, white peach and spring blossoms introduce the 2024 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc, a moderately weighted, incisive and refreshingly vibrant wine with a long, ethereal finish. Crafted entirely from Sauvignon Blanc, it offers an attractive primary, fruit-driven profile.
About the producer
Ch. Smith Haut Lafitte is one of the leading lights of Pessac-Léognan today – all thanks to Daniel and Florence Cathiard, who took over the property in 1990 and have since transformed the estate, converting to biodynamics and crafting wines of increasing finesse.
