Product description
Founded in 1365, this great growth owes its reputation as “the quintessential Graves” to its superb terroir of günzian gravel in a single block. Since its purchase by Florence and Daniel Cathiard in 1990, Smith Haut Lafitte has settled among the leading great growths of Bordeaux.
Well-known for its elegance and complexity, Château Smith Haut Lafitte is a powerful and balanced wine faithful to its terroir.
Awards
It was the Smith Haut Lafitte 2005 Pessac-Léognan that flirted with perfection. What a great wine that is, and it seemed to be drinking surprisingly well from that great but relatively tannic vintage.
