Chateau Puech-Haut Tete de Belier Blanc 2022
' Nestled between the shores of the Mediterranean and the foothills of the Cevennes, the Puech-Haut estate extends over more than one hundred and fifty hectares. The castle was built there with good reason: an ideal climate, passionate men and land covered with pudding stones (galets), made famous in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Through wine, the personalities and the richness of an entire region are also expressed and shared. Thus, the wines of Chateau Puech-Haut are all steeped in history and endowed with a singular identity and a strong character. The history of Chateau Puech-Haut is closely linked to that of its founder, Gerard Bru. A man who, after a successful industrial career, decided to leave everything behind to reconnect with his roots: The land of Languedoc. This region of southern France was already full of history for Gerard. It was on this land that he was introduced to vineyards by his grandfather. And it is also here that his father worked as intendant of the National School of Agronomy of Montpellier. It was there, at the time just scrubland and wild olive groves, that he built his dream. '
Château Smith Haut Lafitte, Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 2020
A delightful white wine offering from Château Smith Haut Lafitte, Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc captures the essence of Bordeaux's Graves region with its freshness and finesse. The château overlooks the vines from atop a hill (or “la fitte” in local dialect) composed of river stones and semi-precious pebbles deposited by the Garonne millions of years ago. Consisting of günz gravel, Smith Haut Lafitte’s terroir has two astonishing features: superb natural drainage forcing the vine roots to sink deep into the soil in order to find nourishment, and a “mirror effect” of the sun’s rays reflected by the gravelly soil.
