$1460.00 price per bottle
From France’s Bordeaux region, specifically Pessac Léognan in Graves, Château Smith Haut Lafitte is a distinguished Grand Cru Classé estate. Owned by Florence and Daniel Cathiard since 1990, the château has become renowned for its environmentally mindful approach and dedication to crafting wines that combine power with elegance. With a history dating back to the 14th century, the estate consistently delivers wines that reflect both its rich terroir and forward-looking philosophy. Wine Description This 2022 vintage presents a deep, intense ruby colour. The nose is layered with cassis, blackberry, and dark cherry, supported by notes of graphite, cedar, mocha, and subtle floral tones of violet and lavender. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and dense, with concentrated black fruit, spice, and earthy mineral freshness. The tannins are firm yet refined, leading to a long, elegant finish. Accolades James Suckling - 97+ points Decanter - 97 points Jeb Dunnuck - 96 points Vinous - 95+ points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 94+ points Food Pairing Ideal pairings include grilled ribeye steak, braised lamb shank, or roasted venison, where the wine’s firm tannins and layered complexity stand up beautifully to rich proteins. For a refined option, pair with duck breast in a red wine reduction.
