Château Smith Haut Lafitte
Château Smith Haut-Lafitte is one of the most renowned Grands Crus Classés in Graves. In 1990, Daniel and Florence Cathiard fell in love with the vineyards of Château Smith Haut-Laffite and joined the prestigious line of owners with the firm intention of continuing to develop this noble Pessac-Léogan cru near Bordeaux. Their ongoing quest for excellence has led them to harmoniously blend the most modern winemaking techniques with the traditional methods of Château Smith Haut-Lafitte wines: living soils, organic compost, a return to small oak vats, ageing on the lees in barrels...

Without doubt, the exemplary elegance of Château Smith Haut-Lafitte 's red wines and the sophisticated bouquet of its world-renowned white Pessac-Léognan deserve this daily care.

"Representative of the vintage and terroir, it's delicious!"

"The 2019 Petit Smith Haut Lafitte is fabulous. Rich, powerful and vibrant, it packs a real punch. Readers will find it hard to tear themselves away from this little gem. Black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, mocha and dried herbs develop as this effusive, generous wine reveals its racy, seductive personality. I loved this wine.

"A striking beauty in a collector's edition!"

"A dark, serious, intriguing, arresting nose, with notes of black fruits, flower pollen, musk and sandalwood. Pure and chiseled, the palate is extraordinarily beautiful, with very fine black fruits, a vein of hypnotic freshness and a superb spicy thrill (Sichuan pepper). The finish seems eternal.

"THE 2021 star of white wines!"

"Barrel sample. Fresh, crisp but with intensity and a ripe texture, this wine is the star of this vintage's white wines. It's tight, with minerality and acidity. Pink grapefruit and a dynamic texture reveal its concentration. This will be a great wine from a great white wine vintage."

"One of Château Smith Haut Lafitte's two runners-up, it is distinguished by its predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon blend. This gives the wine superb structure accompanied by ripe tannins and juicy, dark fruit. It comes from the vineyard's young vines, with the exhuberance of youth reflected in this wine's fruity character." (Wine Enthusiast 2015) Delivery in wooden case for orders delivered in France of 6 bottles of this wine
