Château Smith Haut Lafitte is the grand vin of this historic Graves estate in Martillac, Bordeaux, crafted from old vines on deeply drained Günzian gravel that gives the wine its hallmark smoky, mineral character. In both red (Cabernet Sauvignon–led with Merlot and Cabernet Franc/Petit Verdot) and white (Sauvignon Blanc–dominant with Sauvignon Gris and Sémillon), it is known for combining ripe, complex fruit with smooth structure and freshness, reflecting a meticulously farmed, biodiversity-focused vineyard and long, elegant barrel aging.
