2012 Ch. Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc — one of my favorite SB blends from Bordeaux. The Cathiards have been pouring brilliance into bottles year after year, but this one really blew me away. Better than the ‘15 right now! #bordeaux #smithhautlafitte #pessacleognan #bordeauxblanc #winelover

Read today's Weekend Wine report, in which I check in on the white wine from Cheval Blanc in the 2023 vintage.

This 97 point white Bordeaux at only $37.99 / bottle is amazing. "When I tasted it, I was sure that it was a $150+ bottle of one of the greats. Think Domaine De Chevalier, but even more focused." - Dave Sokolin

2020 Pape Clement Blanc is a 100 point white Bordeaux that is an amazing buying opportunity at $179/bottle! There are only a handful of 100 point white wines in history, and most of them cost thousands of dollars per bottle. Limited quantities remain.
