Description

Founded in 1365, this great growth owned by remarkable figures such as the Scottish navigator Georges Smith in the 18th century and Lodi Duffour-Dubergier in the 19th century, owes its reputation as "the quintessential Graves" to its superb terroir of günzian gravel in a single block.

Tasting

Château Smith Haut Lafitte Red 2011 offers a clear vibrant intense dark red color

The first nose unveils very refreshing notes of ripe red fruits (cherry, raspberry) and beautiful spicy notes. Swirling reveals the complexity of the nose still led by the fruits and where notes of dry herbs, liquorice, cloves, star anise, smoke, fireplace and a hint of caramel complete the aroma palette.

On the palate, the wine is well-balanced and displays good concentration, matter and maturity. The tannin structure is delicate but firm. The dynamism of this wine emerges from the velvet of the tannins, the ripeness of the fruit, the richness of the matter and brightness and tension of the acidity.

The red fruits drive the aromas on the palate with fresh notes of strawberry and red currant, followed by spicy expressions of liquorice, peper and vanilla and finally mineral notes of flint stone, fireplace and pencil lead.
