Chateau Smith Haut-Lafite Blanc [Magnum] 2019 Pessac-Léognan

Pessac-Léognan Blanc Magnum 2019

マグナムで愉しむ、ペサックの白。

ソーヴィニヨン・ブランとセミヨンのブレンドから生まれる、ボルドー左岸の白をマグナムボトルで。淡いレモンイエローの輝きを帯び、熟した白桃やアプリコット、トロピカルフルーツに白い花とミネラル感が重なります。滑らかでクリーミーなテクスチャーとしっかりとした酸が調和し、果実味と軽やかな樽香が絡み合います。清涼感のあるミネラルの余韻。ロブスターのグリルや白身魚のポワレとともに。

Tasting note

Its brilliant color is a pale lemon yellow. The aroma is complex, with ripe white peach, apricot, and tropical fruit, as well as white flowers and a hint of minerality. On the palate, the smooth, creamy texture and firm acidity are in harmony, and the fruitiness and light oak aroma are exquisitely intertwined. The refreshing minerality lingers on the finish, making this a superb white wine that leaves an impression of refined elegance.

Grilled lobster, pan-fried white fish, white mold cheese
