Critic reviews
"A blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon, the 2024 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc evokes aromas of spring flowers, lime and citrus mingled with delicate menthol notes. Moderately weighted and juicy, it's round and enveloping with a mouthwateringly mordant finish."
Yohan Castaing, April 2025, RobertParker.com
"The 2024 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc includes 20% Sémillon and has an open, expressive bouquet with a slight Riesling bent. Nothing wrong with that. The palate is well balanced with a straightforward entry, where a bit more Sémillon expression would be welcome. Fresh and quite spicy towards the finish. This will drink well over the next decade."

"Minerally and understated, with bright acidity and texture. Medium- to full-bodied with tarragon, wet stones and lots of definition from the fruit. Pure and long in the finish. 80% sauvignon blanc and 20% semillon."
