141. Château Ferran Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan
“The 2019 Blanc opens in the glass to reveal aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers and lemongrass, followed by a medium to full-bodied, bright and chalky palate. Drink Date: 2021 - 2029.” 91 pts, Wine Advocate 390714 $40 142. Château de France Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan “This white crackles with chive and thyme accents amid a mix of lemon peel, white peach and jicama notes, followed by a nice
steely-edged finish.” 93 pts, Wine Spectator 39526

143. Château Haut-Brion Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan (L)
Some products may not be available on release day. Please check the website for details. “The 2019 Les Hauts De Smith Blanc is cut from the same cloth, with maybe a touch more acidity and freshness over the Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc. Based on 100% Sauvignon, it has bright lemon and citrus fruits as well as ample minerality, medium to full body, bright yet integrated acidity, and a great finish. It’s another beautiful white that’s going to evolve nicely for 4-6 years or more.” 93 pts, Jeb Dunnuck 389641 $80 “This is crazy quality. The depth and intensity is really something. It is so compact and powerful with such intensity and density. Energy. So structured. Full-bodied. Layered and superb. Like a great Montrachet from a great vintage, but so Haut Brion. Speechless. Perfect wine.” 100 pts, James Suckling 39509 6 bottle limit $1,800 144. Les Hauts de Smith Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan
