Château Smith Haut Lafitte

The Terroir and Innovations of "Smith Haut Lafitte"

Since 1990, the Cathiard family has managed the estate, investing immense effort into sustainability and ecology. The vineyards stretch across exceptional gravel soils that provide the berries with optimal ripening and a unique smoky, toasted aroma (the so-called graves characteristic). The estate produces its own oak barrels and applies biodynamic elements in the vineyard to reflect the most natural local character possible.

The Majesty of Red and White Wines

The red wine (based on Cabernet Sauvignon) stands out with notes of dark cherries, blackberries, licorice, and graphite, accompanied by velvety yet firm tannins. The white wine (mostly Sauvignon Blanc) is considered one of the best in the Bordeaux region—it features a rich texture, with aromas of citrus, white peaches, butter, and hazelnuts.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The red beverages are a perfect companion to roasted duck breast, beef steaks, and venison. The white Pessac-Léognan wines pair wonderfully with lobster, scallops, or fish in a creamy sauce. After the main course, we recommend pairing these wines with hard cheeses from our wine snacks selection.
