From the gravelly and limestone soils of Pessac-Léognan, the Smith Haut Lafitte 1993 (Cru Classé de Graves) blends Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Notes of dark fruits and spices, silky texture and chalky minerality. Ideal with game or hard cheeses.
Château Smith Haut Lafitte
An emblematic estate of Pessac-Léognan, rooted in a terroir of Günzian gravels for generations, where tradition and viticultural precision meet.
- Terroir : Gravel and limestone soils on the edge of the forest, shaping wines of a rare minerality and elegance.
- Vinification : A meticulous blend of Bordeaux grape varieties, aged with patience to reveal the purity of the fruit and the tension of the terroir.
Tasting notes for the wine Château Smith Haut Lafitte 1993
To the eye – Deep garnet robe with tawny highlights, of a silky density and a crystalline brilliance.
On the nose – Aromas of ripe blackcurrant, cedar and blonde tobacco, lifted by a touch of liquorice and a subtle chalky note, like a mineral breath rising from the gravels.
On the palate – Velvety texture, carried by a lively acidity and a fine tannic frame, where dark fruits, soft spices and a saline, long and precise finish intertwine.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
Vintage 1993
A vintage marked by balanced ripeness, where freshness and structure combine in harmony.
- Ageing potential : Drink now or keep until 2028, under optimal conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity).
