Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines.

91-92 Notes of waxy lemon rind, crisp green apple, grapefruit and white flowers introduce the 2021 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc, a medium-bodied, satiny and incisive wine that's saline and penetrating, displaying excellent cut and concentration.

The 2021 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, mostly from young vines. It's fresh and bright, with terrific texture. A touch of reduction requires some aeration to dissipate, but it does, blowing off to reveal citrus peel, jasmine, white pepper and mint. There's great balance, tension and class here.

White flowers, apricot, citrus peel, lemon juice and lemon sherbet on the nose and on the palate - all of which gives a real zing to the initial impact, a shot of pure juicy energy lands on the tongue and immediately expands, but gently alongside some plump sucrosity giving a touch of weight so that you get the overall feeling of creamy lemon and lime with sweetness and a soft salinity. Supremely enjoyable offering a ton of approachable pleasure.

While the 2021 Les Hauts De Smith Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, you'd be hard pressed to guess it blind, and it has enough richness and depth to make you think there's at least a splash of Sémillon in there. Minty herbs, minerals, and lime notes all define the aromatics, and it’s medium-bodied, with a vibrant, refreshing style that carries good concentration and bright acidity.

Les Hauts de Smith Blanc 2021 is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. It pops from the glass with notes of white peaches, juicy pears, and lime blossoms, leading to hints of honeysuckle and candle wax. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers vivacious pear and citrus fruit flavors, with a racy backbone and finishing with a zippy lift.
