Hailing from the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Château Smith Haut Lafitte crafts powerful yet elegant red wines, showcasing the estate's commitment to quality and terroir expression.

What the critics say:

96-97/100James Suckling

"Lots of clove, black-licorice and cigar-box character. Already perfumed. Medium body with fine, chalky and precise tannins. Lead-pencil shavings. Well framed and structured with a fresh, lengthy and spicy finish. Extremely long and intense. 63% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. From organically grown grapes."

96/100Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2021 Smith Haut Lafitte is an engaging, dynamic wine. Gravel, menthol, licorice, mocha and spice are all beautifully delineated. A wine of energy and focus, the 2021 is absolutely enthralling—medium in body, refined and super-impressive."

OUR GROWERS

Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Château Smith Haut Lafitte’s rise from rundown château to the very front rank of Bordeaux is a story that will be told long into the future, and in just 30 years the Cathiards have accomplished what would normally take generations for us mere mortals.

When Daniel and Florence Cathiard, both champion skiers who competed in the Olympics, bought Château Smith Haut Lafitte in 1990, they invested massively in redesign and modernisation, moving towards a biodynamic approach including abandoning mechanical harvesting for handpicking their grapes.
