Tasting notes
This property is pushing quality higher and higher and the estate's white wines are among the finest being produced in Graves. The 1993, made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, offers a rich, honeyed, melony-scented nose with attractive notes of toasty new oak. The wine is fat and rich, with good underlying acidity and plenty of freshness and vibrancy. It should drink well for 3-4 years. Last tasted 11/94

About the producer
Ch. Smith Haut Lafitte is one of the leading lights of Pessac-Léognan today – all thanks to Daniel and Florence Cathiard, who took over the property in 1990 and have since transformed the estate, converting to biodynamics and crafting wines of increasing finesse.
