The 2018 Smith Haut Lafitte is a bold, charismatic Graves red, composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. It opens with deep aromas of blackberry, graphite, violet, and crushed stone. Rich and layered on the palate, it combines ripe black fruit, licorice, and savory herbs with remarkable freshness and mineral drive. Tannins are fine and persistent, promising long-term aging. A benchmark wine from a standout vintage.

Château Smith Haut Lafitte, located in Pessac-Léognan, is one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious estates, known for its commitment to biodynamic viticulture and sustainability. Owned by Daniel and Florence Cathiard since 1990, the property has seen a complete renaissance, elevating both red and white wines to global acclaim. The estate’s gravel-rich soils lend power and refinement, while a state-of-the-art gravity-flow winery and organic practices ensure purity and precision.
