Le Petit Haut Lafite Blanc 2023 Chateau Smith Haut Lafite

Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc 2023

マンダリンの香りと、後味に立つ塩気。

粘土石灰質土壌が育てたソーヴィニヨン・ブランにセミヨンを組み合わせ、低温発酵でフレッシュさを引き出した白です。まず届くのはマンダリンの繊細なアロマ。柑橘やトロピカルフルーツの香りが深みと繊細さをもって広がり、ほのかなスパイスのニュアンスも寄り添います。味わいはふくよかで、丸みと酸味がよく調和し、後味には塩味が現れます。帆立貝のソテーやハーブローストチキンと合わせてお愉しみください。

Tasting note

The delicate aroma of mandarin is felt along with a beautiful aromatic intensity. The taste is full-bodied, with a good balance of roundness and acidity. The overall impression is rich and complex, with a salty aftertaste that shows excellent balance. The fruity aroma of citrus and tropical fruits spreads with depth and delicacy, and you can also feel a subtle hint of spice.
