Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 2022 Pessac-Léognan

Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 2022

今こそ開けたい、張りのある白。

太陽をたっぷり浴びたブドウから生まれた、ペサック・レオニャンの白。輝くライトゴールドの色合いに、白い花やリンドウ、グレープフルーツや洋ナシ、白桃のフレッシュなアロマが広がり、ほのかなスモーキーさとミネラル感が奥行きを与えます。エネルギッシュな酸と果実味が口中を満たし、骨格のしっかりしたミディアムボディながら滑らかで洗練された印象。オマール海老のグリルやホタテのソテーとともに。

Tasting note

A brilliant light gold color. Fresh aromas of white flowers, gentian, grapefruit, pear, and white peach are enhanced by subtle smokiness and minerality. On the palate, energetic acidity and fruitiness spread, followed by a mineral note and long finish. Medium-bodied with a solid structure, it leaves a smooth and refined impression. This white wine can be enjoyed young and will become even more complex with age.

Food pairing

Grilled lobster, sautéed scallops, ricotta cheese ravioli
