Les Hauts de Smith Blanc 2021 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is fruity, elegant, precise, sharp, racy. There are notes of fleshy peach, lychee and, more slightly, fresh kumquat combined with delicate touches of passion fruit as well as a floral touch and a very discreet hint of gunflint. The palate is fruity, focused, precise, elegant and reveals freshness, minerality, a fresh/acidic backbone, good definition, energy, purity, roundness and a certain generosity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy lemon, vine peach and more slightly fleshy quenette combined with touches of passion fruit, lychee, fine notes of lemon blossom, sweet grapefruit. A very nice acidic/juicy finish.
