On the palate, this Grand Cru Classé reveals remarkable concentration with layers of rich fruit beautifully balanced by refined tannins and refreshing acidity.

The estate's commitment to sustainable viticulture and precision winemaking under the Daniel and Florence Cathiard's ownership has elevated Smith Haut Lafitte to exceptional heights.
