2018 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc Pessac Leognan

(90-92 Points) The 2018 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc is made up of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon, aging in 50% new barriques. It delivers pronounced notes of green guava, mango and fresh grapefruit with hints of lime zest and orange blossom. Medium-bodied, the palate offers very good tension with a light bit of phenolic grip and wonderful vibrancy of tropical and citrus layers, finishing chalky.  Wine Advocate, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, April 23, 2019
