Smith Haut Lafitte – Le Petit Blanc Pessac Léognan 2023 shows in the glass a pale yellow hue with subtle green reflections, typical of a refined Pessac-Léognan white. On the nose it reveals an expressive and elegant bouquet: citrus aromas (lemon, grapefruit, lime-leaf), yellow fruit such as pear and ripe apple, accompanied by delicate white blossoms and a hint of fresh mint, with underlying minerality and crushed stone nuances. On the palate it is medium-bodied, fresh and lively, with crisp acidity and a refined saline/mineral backbone that gives depth and tension. The flavour profile is led by citrus and green apple, followed by peach or yellow plum, culminating in an elegant, slightly spicy and lingering finish. Overall, this is a fresh, mineral and well-structured wine, where fruit, acidity and subtle oak combine in harmony — perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood and refined fish dishes.
