Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, The style of our red wine is very classic, with a beautiful expression of our terroir of Günzian Gravel which gives unique smoky notes.
Tasting notes. The Wine Advocate ranking 90 points
The 2013 Smith-Haut-Lafitte has a composed and quite refined bouquet, certainly one of the best that I have encountered on the Left Bank, with wild strawberry mixed with cedar and a touch of graphite. The palate is smooth on the entry, the oak nicely integrated, almost Pinot-like in texture with a prickle of spice on the finish.
60 % Cabernet sauvignon
35 % Merlot
4 % Cabernet franc
1 % Petit verdot
