Ch Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 2010

I had blogged about this estate before, but more about the spa and the cosmetics made from the waste from winemaking. My wife introduced me to the estate. as its red wine was one both she and her mother liked. I tried the white later and found it very good as well. I had a taste of both white and red wines at their table in that unsatisfactory importer's tasting at the end of November.

After tasting the white second wine, I moved to white Grand Vin which (unlike the 100% Sauvignon Blanc of the second wine) had a splash of both Sauvignon Gris and Semillon (both at 5%). The wine was a pale lemon yellow, with a crisp acid and fruity nose.The palate was crisp fruity acid and woody, well supported by an acid woody backbone.
