NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This 2017 vintage of Château Smith Haut-Lafitte Pessac-Léognan Blanc is a delightfully fresh, light-bodied white wine.Its aromas of white flowers, citrus and stone fruits lead to a palate of pear, apple, and honeydew melon complemented by a soft mineral character. A nice acidity and vibrant finish give this wine a bright and lively character that will pair nicely with a variety of dishes. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years for a more complex flavor.
