This is the best ‘just crack on and drink it’ white wine in Bordeaux in my opinion. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, it’s so full of exotic fruits and fragrant white flowers, with seductive aromatics. Juicy and mouthwatering, easy to enjoy. Drinking Window 2020 – 2026.

Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines. What makes Graves unique is its diverse terroir, featuring gravelly soils that not only lend the region its name but also provide excellent drainage and heat reflection, contributing to the ripening of grapes. Red wines from Graves are predominantly blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering a balanced expression of dark fruits, structure, and age-worthy potential.
The appellation is also celebrated for its exceptional white wines, primarily crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. These whites showcase bright acidity, citrus flavors, and a unique flinty character.

Exploring Graves unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and terroir converge to create wines that resonate with history and sophistication.

The 2017 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc and offers up intense notions of lemon curd, white peaches and grapefruit with touches of mandarin peel, jasmine and lime zest. The palate is medium-bodied and incredibly elegant yet super zippy in the mouth, with a lively line cutting through the intense citrus flavors, finishing long and zesty.

The 2017 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc offers a striking combination of richness and bright Sauvignon Blanc aromatics. Lemon peel, grapefruit, mint and white flowers are some of the notes that come together in the glass. The 2017 has really gained in weight and volume since I last tasted it. Today, it has phenolic quality that makes it feel structurally almost like a red wine. A range of floral and citrus overtones linger of the close. The 2017 is distinctive, classy and full of personality.

Fragrant, ripe Sauvignon Blanc gives this second wine of Smith Haut Lafitte density as well as freshness. The wine is crisply textured, still young although fruity. It will be ready from 2020.
