Château Smith Haut Lafitte Pessac-Léognan Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 2009

A successful, exuberant vintage that produced rich, dense wines in both colours. There is some evident evolution in the white at this point, with touches of honeysuckle alongside lemon curd, pink grapefruit and saline oyster shell. Great quality, very much in the window for drinking. Harvest from September 7 for the whites, Fabien Teitgen technical director.
