Over het wijnhuis | Château Smith Haut Lafitte heeft een geschiedenis van 800 jaar in Bordeaux. Het was Du Boscq die in 1365 de eerste wijnstokken plantte op een met kiezel bedekt plateau genaamd Lafitte. Een paar honderd jaar later nam George Smith het landgoed over en gaf het zijn naam plus de naam van het plateau mee. Sinds 1990 wordt Château Smith Haut Lafitte gerund door de familie Cathiard. |

Awards | "More serious than the forward Les Hauts de Smith, the 2019 Le Petit Haut Lafitte contains only 40% Merlot, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon. Exhibiting aromas of crème de cassis, sweet berries, cocoa nib, pencil shavings and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with a more structured, reserved profile but more incipient complexity too." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Extremely polished with tannins that melt into the wine, showing blackberry, black-olive and walnut undertones. It’s full-bodied, yet reserved and tight. Very fine for the second wine of Smith." - James Suckling "Deep colour. Ripe, even creamy but with lift and drive. Tannins finely honed. Dry, stony finish. Generally well balanced." - Jancis Robinson "The 2019 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte is fabulous. Rich, powerful and vibrant, Le Petit packs a serious punch. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this jewel of a wine. Black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, mocha and dried herbs build as this effusive, generous wine shows off its racy, alluring personality. I loved it." - Vinous "Ripe and silky, with alluring warmed cassis and mulled plum flavors and a red licorice accent. The finish, which is carried by lightly singed cedar and grilled savory notes, lets the fruit have the upper hand. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2031." - Wine Spectator "Closed up on the opening bars, a little more austere than the 2018 with tight tannins but opens up to show elegance and balance, and the juicy salinity on the finish that has become so characteristic of Smith Haut Lafitte across its range of wines. Drinking Window 2023 - 2036" - Decanter |
