Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte 是Robert Parker 認為Pessac-Leognon這産區最有升級潛力的,事實上,2009年的Smith Haut Lafitte拿了Robert parker 100滿分!! 酒莊有72公頃土地,56公頃為葡萄園,其中45公頃種植紅葡萄品種,有35%的Merlot,55%的Cabernet Sauvignon和10%的Cabernet Franc; 11公頃產白葡萄品種,種植有90%的Sauvignon Blanc,5%的Sauvignon Gris。 Lafitte的意思是“比較高的小丘”,這裡的土質結構適合Cabernet Sauvignon的生長Le Petit Haut Lafitte是Smith Haut Lafitte推出的副牌,提高merlot比例,酒體更加甜美。在不銹鋼'容器中發酵,然後在橡木桶中陳年14個月~

Tasting Note: Produced mainly from young Cabernet Sauvignon vines on the Château Smith Haut Lafitte vineyard, this is a solid, dark and dense wine. It has rich black-currant flavors that are cut by acidity and firm tannins. Both mean the wine needs to age, so drink from 2020.
