DECANTER: "This is lovely, with good tight aromatics and some carefully sliced nectarine flesh; crisp and steely."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: 91 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Using 80% Sauvignon Blanc along with 20% Semillon, this wine offers lemon curd, succulent grapefruit, honeydew and waxy, citrus rind. It is Juicy, sweet, fresh and ripe and should be delicious upon release."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Composed of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon, the 2015 Le Petit Haut Lafite Blanc opens with notes of fresh grapefruit, white peaches and orange blossoms with touches of chalk dust and dried thyme. Medium-bodied, fine, refreshing, pristine and clean, it has a racy backbone of acid cutting through the vibrant citrus flavors, finishing on a chalky note."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Juicy and open in feel, with bramble, cassis and blueberry coulis flavors that drape easily over light tobacco and singed vanilla notes. Pulls together on the finish and shows latent length. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2027. 5,833 cases made. — JM"
