The estate and the wine |
|
|
Can any serious wine lover really ignore Smith Haut Lafitte?
The answer is no—and for good reason. This estate holds a special place in the hearts of Bordeaux enthusiasts. With its forward-thinking approach to viticulture—what owners Daniel and Florence Cathiard call “bio-precision”—the estate spans 78 hectares, including 11 dedicated to white wines that are now increasingly defined by finesse and elegance.
The 2024 vintage is yet another showcase of the estate’s talent. It offers remarkable precision and freshness, with a juicy core of exotic fruit, white peach, and citrus, all beautifully balanced and enhanced by refined aging—partially in new barrels crafted on-site in the château’s own cooperage.
This is a deep, sculpted wine that reflects the Cathiard family’s unwavering commitment to excellence. A standout bottle that’s sure to turn heads. |
