Château SMITH HAUT LAFITTE Dry white 2018 bottle 75cl

bottle 75cl: 129,50 € incl. VATbottle 75cl

The white wine of Smith Haut Lafitte has built up a solid reputation over the last 10 years, even if it is not a grand cru classé (but Haut-Brion blanc and Pape-Clément blanc are not either). A happy marriage of wood and fruit, it always delivers a beautiful aromatic complexity, from lime blossom to citrus, and a lively, rich and fine structure.

The 2018 vintage is rated 96/100 by J-M QUARIN "Delicate on the attack, rich and melting in the development, very meticulous in its construction, the wine evolves complex in the finish, with a lot of taste and a very great persistence, juicy and deep. Delicious! Enjoy it young." (March 2019)

    The 2021 vintage is rated 96/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin "Pale colour. Great nose, intense, fine, fruity, pure, deep. A touch of blood orange. Meticulous on the entry, very aromatic in the middle, with a caressing touch, a melting body and yet a lot of energy, the wine evolves on a diabolical sweetness. It melts, releasing mysterious hints of slightly liquorice fruit on the finish. It's so good" (September 2023)

    Practically abandoned in 1993 when Mr. and Mrs. Cathiard bought it, Smith Haut Lafitte is today one of the 10 greatest vintages of the Bordeaux left bank. The road they have travelled is truly admirable, and the Cathiards have spared no effort: restoration of the vineyard, construction of a vat room and underground cellar, introduction of state-of-the-art equipment, conversion to organic viticulture...

    The 2016 vintage is rated 94/100 by La Revue du Vin de France"In 2016 the great wine imposes a presence that is still tightly wound, intense and long-lasting. It is a promising wine, full of resources, less extroverted and explosive than the 2015 but perhaps more suited to long ageing. " (Guide 2024)
