The château overlooks the vines from atop a hill (or “la fitte” in local dialect) composed of river stones and semi-precious pebbles deposited by the Garonne millions of years ago.
Consisting of günz gravel, Smith Haut Lafitte’s terroir has two astonishing features: superb natural drainage forcing the vine roots to sink deep into the soil in order to find nourishment, and a “mirror effect” of the sun’s rays reflected by the gravelly soil.
What the critics say:
"A dense, layered white with cooked-apple, honey and lemon aromas and flavors. Layered and flavorful with a zingy, mineral finish. 80% sauvignon with 20% semillon."
"The 2020 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc has a complex, floral bouquet with pressed white flowers, citrus peel and pear, quite expressive thanks to the 20% Sémillon. The palate is well balanced with a lovely honeyed texture, fine acidity, orange rind and peach skin, touches of grapefruit and stem ginger towards the finish. This feels long on the finish - excellent."
