Château Smith Haut Lafitte位於波爾多左岸的Pessac-Leognan。它被波爾多市長 Lodi Martin Duffour-Dubergier於1842年收購,並將其提升為 Grand Cru Exceptionnel 級別。
1990年,Daniel和Florence Cathiard愛上了這座酒莊,他們將其收購並進行翻新。如今酒莊自設葡萄苗圃,培育葡萄藤。此外,不論在葡萄園或酒窖,他們均實行有機耕種及注重生物多樣性。
這座佔地 87 公頃的酒莊周圍環繞着森林、樹籬和蜂巢。葡萄藤被礫石"Graves Gunziennes”覆蓋,紮根於超過 6 米深的地底,從中吸收水分和養分。葡萄亦受惠於陽光下石頭的鏡面效果,達至完熟。風土令葡萄酒出類拔萃,紅酒順滑而複雜,白酒則帶有微妙的煙燻味,被譽為是波爾多最重要的白葡萄酒之一。

2017年的白酒從杯中躍出新鮮青蘋果、香茅、青檸葉和白桃的美妙香氣,以及新鮮生薑、芫荽籽和白胡椒的香料味道。酒體中等,口感具張力,活潑的骨幹貫穿了柑橘和香料等層次。餘韻悠長,具礦石氣息。

這是一款非常出色的Smith white,散發着蘋果片、香梨、石頭、火石和淡奶油的香氣。真是極之出色,酒體飽滿,但緊緻、細膩、集中。


Château Smith Haut Lafitte is located in Pessac-Leognan on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. It was acquired in 1942 by the Mayor of Bordeaux, Lodi Martin Duffour-Dubergier, and elevated it to Grand Cru Exceptionnel status.
In 1990, Daniel and Florence Cathiard fell in love with the Château. They acquired the estate and renovated it.
Today Château Smith Haut Lafitte plants vines propagated from their own vineyards thanks to the vine nursery on Ile de Lalande. They practice organic vinification and biodiversity, both in the vineyard and cellar.
The 87 hectares estate is surrounded by forests, hedges and hives. Covered with Gravels « Graves Gunziennes », the vines are digging at more than 6 meters deep their resources, and the grapes benefit from the stones’ miror effect from the sun for a perfect ripening. The terroir gives the wines extraordinary characteristics. Reds are smooth and complex, and the whites are subtly smoked, which are considered to be one of the foremost examples of white Bordeaux.

AOC Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux

Tasting Notes:

The 2017 Blanc prances out of the glass with pretty, cheerful scents of fresh green apples, lemongrass, lime leaves and white peaches plus spicy touches of fresh ginger, coriander seed and white pepper. Medium-bodied, the palate has fantastic intensity and tension, with a racy backbone cutting through the tightly knit citrus and spice layers, finishing long and mineral laced.

This is fabulous white with sliced apples, pears, stones, flint and light cream. Really incredible. Full-bodied, yet so tight and polished with superb finesse and density at the same time. A fantastic Smith white.
