The nose hits the ground running with vibrant notions of fresh grapefruit, yuzu zest and lemon tart, plus touches of lime leaves, sea spray, green mango and wet pebbles. The medium to full-bodied palate quivers with energetic citrus and mineral-inspired flavors, charged with fantastic tension and delivering a gorgeous silkiness to the texture, finishing long and steely. A bedazzling Pessac-Leognan that cannot fail to impress, it should show best after a couple of years of cellaring and then drink for a good 15+ years.

The 2017 Blanc prances out of the glass with pretty, cheerful scents of fresh green apples, lemongrass, lime leaves and white peaches plus spicy touches of fresh ginger, coriander seed and white pepper. Medium-bodied, the palate has fantastic intensity and tension, with a racy backbone cutting through the tightly knit citrus and spice layers, finishing long and mineral laced.

The Smith Haut Lafitte 2016 Blanc is a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sauvignon Gris and 5% Sémillon matured in 50% new oak. It reveals gregarious pineapple and green guava notes giving way to tantalizing fresh grapefruit and green apples scents plus wafts of orange blossom, crushed rocks and honey drizzled peaches. Medium to full-bodied with a gorgeous satiny texture, the palate is jam-packed with tropical and citrus flavours, finishing long and deliciously savoury.

The 2012 Smith-Haut-Lafitte Blanc has an intense bouquet with mint-fresh Granny Smith apple scents, quite exotic compared to its peers, greengage and gooseberry, a touch of tinned apricot. The palate is crisp and fresh on the entry with lime and gooseberry notes, the acidity well judged, a healthy veneer of new oak, but it is totally in sync with the fruit. Give this 4-5 years for everything to fully assimilate and you will have a splendid white Bordeaux. This is pure nectar.

Pessac-Léognan

Créée en 1987, l'appellation Pessac-Léognan est relativement jeune par rapport aux autres appellations bordelaises. Cependant, son histoire est profondément enracinée dans les anciens vignobles de la région des Graves, qui produisent du vin depuis l'époque romaine. L'appellation Pessac-Léognan se situe juste au sud de la ville de Bordeaux et son terroir se caractérise par des sols graveleux, offrant un excellent drainage et une bonne rétention de la chaleur, ce qui est essentiel pour produire les vins très appréciés de la région.

Les méthodes de production utilisées à Pessac-Léognan reflètent l'attachement de la région à la qualité, à l'innovation et à la tradition. Les viticulteurs emploient une combinaison de techniques traditionnelles et modernes, notamment les vendanges manuelles, la sélection méticuleuse des raisins et la fermentation à température contrôlée. L'utilisation de fûts de chêne pour le vieillissement est courante, ce qui confère aux vins complexité et élégance. La région est surtout connue pour ses vins rouges, qui sont généralement un mélange de cabernet sauvignon, de merlot et de cabernet franc, avec de plus petites quantités de petit verdot et de malbec. Cependant, Pessac-Léognan produit également des vins blancs exceptionnels, élaborés principalement à partir des cépages sauvignon blanc et sémillon, avec souvent une touche de muscadelle.

L'un des producteurs de vin les plus emblématiques de Pessac-Léognan est le Château Haut-Brion, un premier cru dont l'histoire remonte au XVIe siècle. Haut-Brion est connu pour ses vins rouges robustes et corsés, qui exsudent l'élégance et la complexité avec des couches de fruits noirs, de graphite et de nuances terreuses. Le domaine est également réputé pour ses vins blancs secs, élaborés à partir d'un assemblage de sauvignon blanc et de sémillon, qui présentent des notes d'agrumes, de chèvrefeuille et une complexité minérale.

Un autre producteur célèbre de l'appellation Pessac-Léognan est le Château La Mission Haut-Brion, un domaine historique datant du XVIIe siècle. La Mission Haut-Brion produit des vins rouges exceptionnels, réputés pour leur intensité, leur profondeur et leur longévité. Ces vins se caractérisent par des arômes de fruits opulents, des tanins intégrés et des notes de tabac, de cuir et de truffe.

Le Domaine de Chevalier est un producteur très réputé de vins rouges et blancs à Pessac-Léognan. Fondé au XIXe siècle, le Domaine de Chevalier s'engage à appliquer des pratiques de viticulture durable et à respecter son terroir. Les vins rouges du domaine sont réputés pour leur élégance et leur finesse, avec un accent mis sur le cabernet sauvignon et le merlot, tandis que les vins blancs mettent en valeur l'interaction complexe entre le sauvignon blanc et le sémillon, offrant des notes d'agrumes, de poire et une subtile influence du chêne.

Le Château Smith Haut Lafitte, autre grand producteur de l'appellation Pessac-Léognan, s'enorgueillit d'une histoire vieille de plus de 800 ans. Smith Haut Lafitte se consacre à l'agriculture biologique et biodynamique et est connu pour ses vins rouges raffinés, qui présentent un équilibre harmonieux entre le fruit, les tanins et l'acidité, avec des notes de cassis, de cèdre et d'épices. Les vins blancs du domaine sont tout aussi impressionnants, offrant une expression vibrante de sauvignon blanc, de sémillon et de sauvignon gris, avec des notes d'agrumes, de fleurs blanches et de minéralité.
