Compact but with solid range, as the salted butter, verbena and talc notes work well with lemon pith and curd, white peach and gooseberry flavors. Offers a talc hint that works underneath to extend the finish. Drink now

The 2019 Les Hauts de Smith Blanc offers up aromas of lemongrass, herbs, citrus zest and light reduction, followed by a medium to full-bodied, bright and vibrant palate that's taut and racy, reflecting its 100% Sauvignon Blanc identity. Best after 2021.

The 2019 Les Hauts De Smith Blanc has more tart pineapple and lemon fruits as well as a racy, vibrant style compared to the Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc, which is a richer wine. Medium-bodied on the palate, with bright acidity and terrific balance, it will evolve for 5-7 years. Best After 2022
