Le Petit Haut Lafitte Pessac-Léognan Blanc 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Bordeaux
R1,095
‘The 2021 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc is a stellar wine that very much captures both the style of the year and the house style. Airy and gracious, with striking, understated depth, the 2021 is light on its feet and incredibly sublime. Crushed rocks, white pepper, mint, slate and citrus peel build into the pure, crystalline finish. 2023-2029’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 94/100
‘A blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon that matured in 50% new oak barrels, the 2021 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc exhales a spicy, elegant bouquet with aromas of lime tree leaves, verbena, spring flowers and citrus oil. Medium to full-bodied, round and satiny, it’s fleshier than Les Hauts de Smith with gastronomic bitterness on the finish. 2023-2030’ – Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate, 93/100
‘Marked by the dominant Sauvignon component in grassy freshness but with a touch of chalky stone dust to add interest. On the palate, very fresh with a light grip and grapefruit freshness. 2023-2028’ – Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, 16.5/20
