In a few words ...
Cuvée Smith Haut Lafitte is made from 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. This classically-styled wine features a fine expression of the Günzian gravel terroir, with unique smoky notes.
"With its deep, brilliant color, this wine's powerful bouquet favors aromas of vanilla, toast, mocha and chocolate, the legacy of eighteen months' barrel ageing (60% new). However, the fruit - blackberry, blueberry - is very present; underlying the nose, it takes over on the palate, which reveals tannins that are still fiery on the finish. Ample and long, the structure is a guarantee of solid potential."
Tasting notes
Appearance
The wines have a dense but lighter robe than the medoc. The hue is ruby with a touch ranging from purple to brick depending on the evolution.
Aroma
The bouquet is often fruity, with currant and other red and black fruits to which are added smoked or roasted notes.
Wine Floral | Fruity | Spicy
Taste
Composed on average of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the red wines of Pessac-Léognan make a good compromise between marked tannins and the greediness of the fruit. We thus find red and ripe fruits, and empyreumatic notes.
