Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 2024

97–98+
/100

2024-sammensætningen: 90 procent Sauvignon Blanc, fem procent Semillon og fem procent Sauvignon Gris. Høsten løb fra 29. august til 13. september. Fyldig næse af hvid stenfrugt, flot citrongræs underneden og en fin krydring. Interessant, fordi den er mineralsk, velsmagende og frugtagtig på samme tid. Let hvid chokolade, lidt grafit - elegant! Den sydlige del af Bordeaux, Pessac-Léognan, kommer ikke helt tæt på byområdet med hensyn til kvalitet, og nogle hvide Médoc'er var også mere spændende. Der var kun få undtagelser, den røde og hvide fra Domaine de Chevalier i Pessac-Léognan, den røde Haut Bailly og denne fremragende hvide Smith. ***. Ejerne af denne vinmark er Florence og Daniel Cathiard. Jordbunden på Smith Haut Lafitte består af grus og ler med lidt kalksten nogle steder.

Alexandre Ma om: Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc

While Château Smith Haut Lafitte is often known for its power and opulence in warmer vintages, I find its restraint and quiet elegance in 2024 especially compelling. It’s slender, poised, and impeccably defined – like a supermodel with statuesque proportions, impossible to look away from for even a second. Its aromas ripple across the surface like a breeze over still water: the warmth of papaya, the coolness of green pineapple, the airy brightness of sugar tangerine, and a delicate whisper of gardenia. With each swirl, a new variation of light and fragrance takes shape. The wine’s spine lies in its vibrant acidity, which breathes soul into its crystalline texture – like water jelly gliding across the palate, leaving behind a soft, lucid finish that shimmers with clarity. Smith Haut Lafitte 2024 isn’t a fleeting beauty-it’s a quiet poem, meant to be read slowly, and treasured over time.

Suckling om: Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc

Minerals, smoke, tarragon and bright lemons on the nose. An almost full-bodied, textured white that delivers lots of freshness, weight and brightness on the palate. There is attractive salinity at the end before a long yet broad finish. 90% sauvignon blanc, 5% semillon and 5% sauvignon gris.

The Wine Independent om: Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc

Needs a little shaking to wake up scents of lemon verbena, lime leaves, and wet pebbles, opening out to reveal hints of passion fruit and jasmine tea. The light to medium-bodied palate is super-intense with wonderful tension and lots of chalky sparks, finishing very long and layered. Stunning!

Galloni om: Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc

The 2024 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is complex, dynamic and an absolute delight. Everything about the 2024 speaks to class. Brisk acids drive through a core of citrus fruit, almond, mint, chamomile and white pepper. More than anything else, I admire the wine's tension and energy. Clean saline notes extend the dry, bracing finish.

Smith Haut Lafitte

I dag er Château Smith Haut Lafitte som Cru Classé et af de mest strålende eksempler på succes i Bordeaux' nyere historie. Florence og Daniel Cathiard (en velhavende parisisk familie) købte det noget nedslidte Château Smith Haut Lafitte af den veletablerede Eschenauer-familie i 1991 (efter at det...
