A bright, salty white with dried-apple, lemon and hot-stone character. It's full-bodied, yet vivid and tight with vibrant energy at the end.

The 2019 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc is bright, airy and effusive. Even with 20% Semillon, the Le Petit Blanc is light on its feet. Lemon peel, white flowers, crushed rocks mint and chalk are beautifully sculpted. This chiseled, nuanced white is all class. A bright, saline finish rounds things out in grand style. Gorgeous.

A blend built around 20% Semillon and rather riper Sauvignon Blanc, the 2019 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc exhibits aromas of crisp stone fruit, lemongrass, pastry cream and smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, textural and fleshy palate that's layered and lively, concluding with chalky grip. It's a more serious, gastronomic wine than the entirely Sauvignon Les Hauts de Smith Blanc.
