ChâteauSmithHautLafitte2017–CruClassédeGraves

The couple was able to employ facilities and a winegrowing philosophy inspired by biodynamics, allowing them to create increasingly balanced but no less powerful wines. Today,Smith Haut Lafittehas become an unmissablebenchmarkfor Pessac-Léognan. This Château Smith Haut Lafitte sports a lovely, deep-red colour with glints of dark purple. The complex nose reveals very fresh notes of ripe red fruits (raspberry, cherry), liquorice and spices. On the palate, the wine is balanced, with good concentration. It displays lovely substance and maturity, with a delicate but firm tannic structure. A Pessac-Léognan with solid potential!
