The 2015 Smith-Haut-Lafitte is adorned with a special label to celebrate the 650th anniversary of the château and the 25th vintage made under the ownership of Daniel and Florence Cathiard.

It is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, picked between 23 September until 12 October with the Cabernet Franc. Matured in 65% new oak (although technical director Fabien Teitgen mentioned that he could have added more if he felt it would benefit).

It has a very intense, blueberry and crème de cassis scented bouquet, a touch more opulent than its peers with hints of freshly shucked oyster shell developing with aeration.

The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin couched in gorgeous, satin-textured black cherry and cassis fruit, tinged with cedar and pencil shavings. It lingers very long and sensually in the mouth, completing a sophisticated and powerful Smith Haut-Lafitte that should age in splendid fashion.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Château Smith Haut Lafitte is a 79-hectare of a contiguous vineyard of one block, surrounded by 60 hectares of forest and clearings at the doorstep of Bordeaux, with a history dating back to the 14th century. Purchased by Florence and Daniel Cathiard in 1990, their passionate investment in this property, where they reside, has allowed them to express the quintessence of this magnificent terroir in Pessac-Léognan.
