Description
Alcohol percentage: 13.5%
Area:
Smith Haut Lafitte is a 55 hectare estate in Pessac (the best, northern part of the Graves region, and just south of the city of Bordeaux). They are on a gravelly rise, just next to Haut-Bailly. Owned since 1990 by Daniel and Florence Cathiard, who have gradually turned it into one of the most sought-after wines in the region. No expense has been spared, including the creation of a luxury hotel and spa, home to the skincare brand of Caudalie.
Grape variety:
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, matured for 15 months in oak barrels (20% new wood).
The Bottle Shop rating:
This is very fine indeed for a ‘second wine’. Proving both the success of the vintage and the brilliance of the SHL team.

“I was a customer of the shop before I worked here. It’s the personal touch people come for. It’s what makes them come back.”
