The Immediate Pleasure of a Grand Cru Classé Pedigree
Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte is the sophisticated second wine from the world-renowned Château Smith Haut Lafitte. Sourced primarily from the estate’s younger vines, it delivers the celebrated Pessac-Léognan terroir in a style that is more immediately accessible than the Grand Vin, offering tremendous value and undeniable class. This is your chance to experience Bordeaux excellence now.
Tasting Profile (Typical Vintage)
- Color: Deep, inky garnet.
- Nose: Intense and complex, featuring ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), layered with cedar, tobacco, dark chocolate, and the signature ‘pencil lead’ minerality of the Graves gravel.
- Palate: Full-bodied yet impeccably balanced. The wine boasts a concentrated core of fruit, framed by silky, polished tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominance provides structure and a fresh, long finish that screams quality.
Pairing & Serving Suggestions
While ready to drink after a one-hour decant, this wine has the structure to age gracefully. Serve at 60-64°F (16-18°C) alongside premium cuts of beef or rich game dishes for a truly luxurious dining experience.
