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~

This is a ripe soft wine full of warm fruits and gentle tannins. The second wine of the always-impressive Château Smith Haut Lafitte, it is a rich wine its own right. With black currant and dark plum flavors, it has some solid tannins from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Drink from 2018. ROGER VOSS

This has a stony nose with aromas of blueberries and wild strawberries in the background. Medium to full bodied. This has a noticeable acidic backbone with some delicate fruit yet slightly short on the finish. Still enjoyable. Drink now.
