Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Italy is not only one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world, but also one of the most diverse. From the alpine north to the hot south, from the Mediterranean coasts to the heights of the Apennines – hardly any other country offers such a range of grape varieties, climate zones and wine styles. With over 20 wine-growing regions, more than 400 indigenous grape varieties and a deeply rooted culture of enjoyment, Italy is one of the most important wine producers worldwide.

The red Grand Vin of Château Smith Haut Lafitte ranks among the most important wines of Pessac-Léognan. It combines dark fruit with the graphite, tobacco, spice and fine smoky aromas typical of the appellation. Power and elegance remain in balanced proportion.

The white wines enjoy an equally outstanding reputation. They rank among Bordeaux's most sought-after dry white wines, combining the freshness of Sauvignon Blanc (90%) with the richness and complexity of Sémillon and Sauvignon Gris. Citrus fruit, white flowers, exotic fruit and fine minerality define their style.

Alongside the Grand Vins, “Le Petit Haut Lafitte” Rouge and Blanc serve as second wines, offering earlier access to the character of the estate.
