About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of White Field BlendBordeaux, FranceWhile it probably doesn't get any more English than the name George Smith, this divine white wine hails from the southern Bordeaux region of Pessac-Léognan. Smith bought the property back in 1720 and added his name to the place name to creat Smith-Haut-Lafitte. The wines have undergone a massive change in recent years and for the better with wines of clarity and complexity resulting. Christophe Olivier consults here to great effect.

Medium bodied white wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often pale lemon coloured to pale gold.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

A beautiful honeyed nose offers buttered citrus, subtle earth and smoke and rich melon-like aromas. This is a round, generously endowed dry white capable of lasting a decade or more.
