Tasting notes
Medium-bodied and crisp, with fig and citrus notes, the second wine of Smith Haut Lafitte, the 2012 Les Hauts de Smith, shows quite well. It doesn’t have the body or richness its sibling, but it is well-made and merits interest. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

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.
