The Les Hauts de Smith Blanc 2014 is pure Sauvignon Blanc matured in 50% new oak. It has an exquisite bouquet that really exploits the gravel over clay soils (on the lower part of the Smith Haut Lafitte.) There is fine mineralité here. The palate is citrus fresh on the entry with a sharp line of acidity. There is a light oyster shell influence, almost as if a drop of top-notch Muscadet had sauntered into the blending vat, and I mean that in a positive way. There is plenty of character here–another superb white wine from the estate.

Open and juicy in feel, with tasty yellow apple, green plum and star fruit notes backed by a flattering shortbread accent on the finish. Drink now. 1,250 cases made.

The 2014 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc (100 % Sauvignon Blanc) brings together the aromatic brightness and energy of Sauvignon Blanc, but with striking palate density and weight. Apricot, peach, mint and pastry give the wine its breadth and textural intensity. This is a gorgeous Pessac white.
《Smith Haut Lafitte》
酒莊位於波爾多左岸的Graves產區,18世紀時英國商人George Smith買下這個酒莊,命名為Smith Haut Lafitte,當時航運盛行,因此鄰近的英國自然就成了外銷的最大對象。酒莊經過起起落落,最大的轉機就來自於前法國滑雪冠軍同時也是超市大亨 Daniel Cathiard 買下Smith Haut Lafitte之後,他開始大刀闊斧,投注所有的資金與心力,聘請包含 Michel Roland在內的知名釀酒顧問,重建酒窖、更新釀酒設備,1992年起酒莊不再使用化學除草劑,實行生物動力法種植葡萄等等,現在的 Smith Haut Lafitte以優雅細膩的紅酒和具備複雜多變香氣的白酒聞名,這座酒莊在短短二十年脫胎換骨成為波爾多一流水準的酒莊。
