Château Smith Haut Lafitte : "Golden Labels" Special Edition case

A special edition, in memory of Daniel Cathiard, bringing together 3 great vintages of Château Smith Haut Lafitte

The estate
Located in Martillac, in the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards, the renowned Château Smith Haut Lafitte boasts a history dating back to 1365. This emblematic estate leaves a lasting impression thanks to its exceptional terroir. Owned by the Cathiard family since 1990, the estate covers 78 hectares of vines and belongs to the prestigious circle of Grands Crus Classés de Graves. It stands out for its unique Bio Précision approach, combining organic and biodynamic farming to craft wines of great renown.

The vineyard
Set within the Pessac-Léognan appellation, the vineyard lies on a naturally drained knoll composed of Günzian gravel and semi-precious pebbles. This unique soil creates a mirror effect that promotes grape ripening and forces the roots to plunge deep into the ground. The vines, averaging 49 years of age, are cultivated according to the principles of organic and biodynamic farming. The estate also preserves its genetic diversity through a nursery located on the protected ecosystem of the Île de Lalande.

The gift box

Château Smith Haut Lafitte unveils an exclusive gift box celebrating the memory of Daniel Cathiard, who passed away in early 2026. The three vintages (2015, 2020 and 2025) that make up this special edition are adorned with an elegant gold label.

Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2015 - 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot.
With a deep, almost black hue, this vintage opens on a generous bouquet of crunchy black fruits (blackberry, blueberry, cherry) enhanced by notes of cedar, liquorice and violet. The palate is ample and silky, carried by smooth tannins and beautifully ripe fruit, leading to a long, elegant finish with floral and mineral accents. A great Pessac-Léognan, combining power and finesse, true to the finest qualities of the 2015 vintage.

Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2020 - 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.
Deep red in colour with bluish highlights, this vintage reveals an expressive nose blending red and black fruits, liquorice and subtle empyreumatic hints of pencil lead. The palate is powerful and enveloping, driven by firm tannins and a lovely smoothness, with a lingering finish marked by sweet spices, light tobacco and graphite.

Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2025 - 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.
A deep, richly coloured red robe; the nose immediately seduces with fresh fruit dominated by blackcurrant, embellished with floral notes of rose, sweet spices, sandalwood and an elegant minerality of graphite and warm earth. The palate is both dense and caressing, combining a silky texture with a full, harmonious substance, leading to an energetic finish of remarkable length. An accomplished 2025 vintage, blending freshness, aromatic complexity and great fullness.
