A little more gunsmoke and slate than the Hauts de Smith, with a structure and salinity that takes you to a more serous level, still with the easy pleasure of ripe citrus and pear fruits. Excellent quality, 36hl/h yields. Score: 94 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2025-2038 Date: 02 May 2024 |

The 2023 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc is terrific. Airy and vibrant, the 2023 is pure class. Crushed rocks, mint, salt, white pepper and lemon curd are all beautifully lifted. The Sauvignon Blanc-based Petit is very fine in 2023. Score: 92 - 94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2025-2033 Date: 30 April 2024 |

The 2023 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon. It has a more complex and refined bouquet compared to the Les Haut Blanc: dried pineapple, peach skin and yellow plum. Lovely. The palate is very well balanced with a slightly waxy texture, a keen line of acidity and a fresh, Golden Delicious- and ginger-tinged finish. Recommended.

As usual, a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon matured 50% in new oak, the 2023 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc offers up aromas of spring flowers, citrus, lime tree leaves and menthol. Medium-bodied, satiny and round, it’s satiny with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and an elegant, ethereal finish enhanced by gastronomic bitterness. It will offer a broad drinking window. - Tasted by Yohan Castaing Score: 90 - 93 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 26 April 2024 |

Good vibration here, with edgy, fresh acidity that makes it long and vivid. It's medium-bodied and tight, with sliced lemon and green apple and stone character. Better than 2022? 80% sauvignon blanc and 20% semillon. Score: 94 - 95 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 24 April 2024 |
