Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Les Hauts de Smith blanc 2020

- 91-93 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: „Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc aging in 50% new oak, the 2020 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc features notions of lime cordial, fresh grapefruit and Granny Smith apples on the nose, with suggestions of straw and elderflower. The medium-bodied palate is packed with zippy citrus and green apple flavors, supported by a racy backbone, finishing with a zingy lift.“

- 91-93 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: „The 2020 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc, 100% Sauvignon Blanc, is creamy, open-knit and wonderfully expressive. Ripe pear, apricot, flowers, mint and tangerine oil all open with a bit of coaxing, There is a bit of oak, but it is extremely well-judged. In 2020, Les Hauts Blanc is all about understatement and class.“

- 91-93 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: „Helles Gelbgrün, silberfarbene Reflexe. Zart floral unterlegte weiße Tropenfrucht, ein Hauch von Birne und Litschi, ein Hauch von Grapefruitzesten. Saftig, feine gelbe Pfirsichfrucht, angenehmer Säurebogen, seidiger, harmonischer Stil, mineralischer Nachhall.“

- 92 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: „Plenty of signature Les Hauts de Smith joyful fruit, with apricot, white pear and citrus. An arrow-splice of juice cuts through the palate, this is bright and cheerful and very much ready to drink. Super enjoyable, maybe a tiny bit less clear Sauvignon Blanc character than in some vintages, but still a delicious wine and one of the best-value whites in Bordeaux. Mouthwatering finish. 50% new oak. Drinking Window 2021 – 2026“

- 92-93 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „Plenty of lemon character with some lime, green mango and tarragon. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity. Vivid.“
