92-94 Antonio Galloni for Vinous
"The 2022 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc is a jewel of wine. Bright, focused and finely cut, the 2022 bristles with energy and tension. The blend is 80% Sauvignon and 20% Sémillon, done in a style that is all about energy. Citrus peel, almond, chamomile, dried flowers and herbs all race through to the finish." 4/23

"A more straight, focused, structured wine, the 2022 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot brought up in a mix of new and used oak. It's a powerful, medium to full-bodied, structured Graves offering classic darker, almost blue fruits, some violet, floral and graphite nuances, fine yet certainly present tannins, and a great finish. It's another clearly outstanding wine from this team." 5/23

92-93 James Suckling

"Medium-bodied with lovely berry, cherry and hazelnut character. Chocolaty. Juicy. Friendly and bright rounded tannins. 60% cabernet sauvignon and 40% merlot." 04/23

91-93 Neal Martin for Vinous

"The 2022 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte has a more backward nose than the Les Hauts. With coaxing, blackberry, loam and light flinty/smoky aromas unfurl from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannins lending freshness and tension, quite saline toward its airy Cabernet-driven finish." 4/23
