Smith Haut Lafitte 1982
Born on the gravel soils of Pessac-Léognan, Château Smith Haut Lafitte 1982 (Grand Cru Classé) blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Aged 18 months in new oak barrels, it offers aromas of dark fruits and spices, with a well-balanced palate. Perfect until 2040 with red meats.
Château Smith Haut Lafitte
A family estate rooted in the Graves, where viticultural heritage has been intertwined with a pursuit of excellence since the 14th century.
- Terroir: Gravelly and clay-limestone soils of Pessac-Léognan, shaping wines of chalky minerality and rare elegance.
- Vinification: Traditional methods and sustainable innovations, for precise, focused cuvées that respect the fruit.
Tasting notes for Château Smith Haut Lafitte 1982
To the eye – A garnet red robe with tawny reflections, of silky density and subtle brilliance, betraying its age with grace.
On the nose – Aromas of candied blackcurrant, toasted cedar and blond tobacco, lifted by a hint of damp undergrowth and a saline edge, like a sea breeze over the Graves.
On the palate – A velvety yet taut texture, carried by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality, with a long, spiced finish where notes of liquorice and black mushroom emerge.
Serve at 16-18°C in a Bordeaux glass to reveal its full complexity.
Vintage 1982
A sunny and generous vintage, marked by a rare balance between fruit maturity and mineral freshness.
- Aging potential: To be enjoyed until 2040, provided it is stored in a cool cellar (12-14°C) and kept away from light.
