Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Rouge 2018

Colour The wine is a very dark red colour, adorned with bluish tints. Nose The very expressive nose mixes fragrances of fruits (fresh red and black fruits), spices (star anise) and liquorice with smoky notes. Palate A powerful attack precedes a palate which seduces with its smooth touch, balance and delicate union between substance, softness, opulence and freshness. The beautifully long palate unveils refined tannins, as well as a mouth-coating and delicious substance. Throughout the tasting, a rich, aromatic palette made up of intense aromas of fruit, sweet spices, blond tobacco leaf as well as notes of graphite and liquorice are conveyed.

Situated at the gateway to Bordeaux, Château Smith Haut Lafitte is one of the most essential Cru Classé de Graves properties in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. Managed by the couple Daniel and Florence Cathiard since 1990, Smith Haut Lafitte shines bright among the elite wines of Bordeaux with a reputation that knows no boundaries. Power, volume, concentration, perfect maturity and delicate smoky notes testify to the imprint of the terroir, and the wines of Smith Haut Lafitte offer a brilliant display of this unique style and identity.
