Quantité

Composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot and matured in 60% new oak for 18 months, the 2016 Smith Haut Lafitte has a very deep garnet-purple color, opening with sensuous scents of warm black cherries, blackberry pie, star anise and fragrant lilacs with hints of chocolate box, cigar box and pencil lead plus wafts of truffles and crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, rich and seductive, it completely fills the palate with perfumed black berry preserves and superbly plush tannins, finishing epically long and beautifully layered.

A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, aged in 60% new barriques, the very deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Smith Haut Lafitte bursts onto the scene with showy scents of crème de cassis, mocha, licorice and cedar chest, followed by suggestions of baked plums, smoked meats, tar and tobacco leaf. The medium to full-bodied palate brings sophistication to all that flamboyant fruit with a beautifully styled frame of finely grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing bright and fruity with loads of minerally sparks. This is a stunning, singular style that is sure to turn heads!

Medium to deep garnet-purple, the 2015 Smith Haut Lafitte has a totally dazzling nose of exotic spices—star anise, fenugreek and Sichuan pepper—over a core of chocolate-covered cherries, wild blueberries, plum preserves, violets and earthy wafts of truffles, moss, tilled black soil and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced and packing a lot of flavor into a relatively modest package, it fills the mouth with spice and herb-laced black and blue fruit layers, supported by very ripe, very finely grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length. This is already a show-stopping, heart-pounding beauty, but should also age incredibly!

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Smith Haut Lafitte delivers notes of baked plums, boysenberries and dried mulberries with an undercurrent of cigar box, new leather and bouquet garni. Full-bodied, the palate has firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness supporting the maturing fruit, finishing on a stewed tea note.

The finest wine ever made by proprietors Daniel and Florence Cathiard, the 2009 Smith-Haut-Lafitte exhibits an opaque blue/purple color in addition to a glorious nose of acacia flowers, licorice, charcoal, blueberries, black raspberries, lead pencil shavings and incense. This massive, extraordinarily rich, unctuously textured wine may be the most concentrated effort produced to date, although the 2000, 2005 and 2010 are nearly as prodigious. A gorgeous expression of Pessac-Leognan with sweet tannin, emerging charm and delicacy, and considerable power, depth, richness and authority, it should age effortlessly for 30-40+ years. Bravo!

This successful wine exhibits notes of ripe black currants and smoked herbs. With deep, concentrated, attractive flavors, medium body, sweet tannin, and decent acidity, this is an impressive, classic Graves that should drink well young yet age nicely for up to two decades. It is more structured and linear than the plump 2003, but both are top-notch efforts.

Découvrir Bordeaux

Pessac-Léognan

Créée en 1987, l'appellation Pessac-Léognan est relativement jeune par rapport aux autres appellations bordelaises. Cependant, son histoire est profondément enracinée dans les anciens vignobles de la région des Graves, qui produisent du vin depuis l'époque romaine. L'appellation Pessac-Léognan se situe juste au sud de la ville de Bordeaux et son terroir se caractérise par des sols graveleux qui offrent un excellent drainage et une bonne rétention de la chaleur, indispensables à la production des vins très réputés de la région.

Les méthodes de production utilisées à Pessac-Léognan reflètent l'attachement de la région à la qualité, à l'innovation et à la tradition. Les viticulteurs emploient une combinaison de techniques traditionnelles et modernes, notamment les vendanges manuelles, la sélection méticuleuse des raisins et la fermentation à température contrôlée. L'utilisation de fûts de chêne pour le vieillissement est courante, ce qui confère aux vins complexité et élégance. La région est surtout connue pour ses vins rouges, qui sont généralement un mélange de cabernet sauvignon, de merlot et de cabernet franc, avec de plus petites quantités de petit verdot et de malbec. Cependant, Pessac-Léognan produit également des vins blancs exceptionnels, élaborés principalement à partir des cépages sauvignon blanc et sémillon, avec souvent une touche de muscadelle.

L'un des producteurs de vin les plus emblématiques de Pessac-Léognan est le Château Haut-Brion, un premier cru dont l'histoire remonte au XVIe siècle. Haut-Brion est connu pour ses vins rouges robustes et corsés, qui exsudent l'élégance et la complexité avec des couches de fruits noirs, de graphite et de nuances terreuses. Le domaine est également réputé pour ses vins blancs secs, élaborés à partir d'un assemblage de sauvignon blanc et de sémillon, qui présentent des notes d'agrumes, de chèvrefeuille et une complexité minérale.

Un autre producteur célèbre de l'appellation Pessac-Léognan est le Château La Mission Haut-Brion, un domaine historique datant du XVIIe siècle. La Mission Haut-Brion produit des vins rouges exceptionnels, réputés pour leur intensité, leur profondeur et leur longévité. Ces vins se caractérisent par des arômes de fruits opulents, des tanins intégrés et des notes de tabac, de cuir et de truffe.

Le Domaine de Chevalier est un producteur très réputé de vins rouges et blancs à Pessac-Léognan. Fondé au XIXe siècle, le Domaine de Chevalier s'engage à appliquer des pratiques de viticulture durable et à respecter son terroir. Les vins rouges du domaine sont réputés pour leur élégance et leur finesse, avec un accent mis sur le cabernet sauvignon et le merlot, tandis que les vins blancs mettent en valeur l'interaction complexe entre le sauvignon blanc et le sémillon, offrant des notes d'agrumes, de poire et une subtile influence du chêne.

Le Château Smith Haut Lafitte, autre grand producteur de l'appellation Pessac-Léognan, s'enorgueillit d'une histoire vieille de plus de 800 ans. Smith Haut Lafitte se consacre à l'agriculture biologique et biodynamique et est connu pour ses vins rouges raffinés, qui présentent un équilibre harmonieux entre le fruit, les tanins et l'acidité, avec des notes de cassis, de cèdre et d'épices. Les vins blancs du domaine sont tout aussi impressionnants, offrant une expression vibrante de sauvignon blanc, de sémillon et de sauvignon gris, avec des notes d'agrumes, de fleurs blanches et de minéralité.
