Hoeveelheid

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.

Pessac-Léognan

De appellation Pessac-Léognan, opgericht in 1987, is relatief jong vergeleken met andere appellations van Bordeaux. De geschiedenis ervan is echter diepgeworteld in de oude wijngaarden van de regio Graves, die al sinds de Romeinse tijd wijn produceren. De appellation Pessac-Léognan ligt net ten zuiden van de stad Bordeaux en het terroir wordt gekenmerkt door grindachtige bodems, die zorgen voor uitstekende drainage en warmtebehoud, wat essentieel is voor de productie van de hoog aangeschreven wijnen van de regio.

De productiemethoden die in Pessac-Léognan worden gebruikt, weerspiegelen de toewijding van de regio aan kwaliteit, innovatie en traditie. Wijnmakers gebruiken hier een combinatie van traditionele en moderne technieken, waaronder handmatige oogst, nauwkeurige druivenselectie en temperatuurgecontroleerde fermentatie. Het gebruik van eikenhouten vaten voor rijping is gebruikelijk, wat complexiteit en elegantie aan de wijnen geeft. De regio staat het meest bekend om zijn rode wijnen, die doorgaans een mix zijn van Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot en Cabernet Franc, met kleinere hoeveelheden Petit Verdot en Malbec. Pessac-Léognan produceert echter ook uitzonderlijke witte wijnen, voornamelijk gemaakt van Sauvignon Blanc en Sémillon druiven, vaak met een vleugje Muscadelle.

Een van de meest iconische wijnproducenten in Pessac-Léognan is Château Haut-Brion, een First Growth-landgoed met een geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de 16e eeuw. Haut-Brion staat bekend om zijn robuuste, volle rode wijnen, die elegantie en complexiteit uitstralen met lagen donker fruit, grafiet en aardse ondertonen. Het landgoed staat ook bekend om zijn droge witte wijnen, gemaakt van een blend van Sauvignon Blanc en Sémillon, met tonen van citrus, kamperfoelie en minerale complexiteit.

Een andere gevierde producent in de appellatie Pessac-Léognan is Château La Mission Haut-Brion, een historisch landgoed dat dateert uit de 17e eeuw. La Mission Haut-Brion produceert uitzonderlijke rode wijnen met een reputatie voor intensiteit, diepte en duurzaamheid. Deze wijnen worden gekenmerkt door hun weelderige fruitsmaken, geïntegreerde tannines en tonen van tabak, leer en truffel.

Domaine de Chevalier is een zeer gerespecteerde producent van zowel rode als witte wijnen in Pessac-Léognan. Domaine de Chevalier is opgericht in de 19e eeuw en zet zich in voor duurzame wijnbouwpraktijken en een diep respect voor het terroir. De rode wijnen van het landgoed staan bekend om hun elegantie en finesse, met een focus op Cabernet Sauvignon en Merlot, terwijl de witte wijnen de complexe wisselwerking tussen Sauvignon Blanc en Sémillon laten zien, met tonen van citrus, peer en subtiele eikeninvloed.

Château Smith Haut Lafitte, een andere prominente producent in de appellatie Pessac-Léognan, kan bogen op een geschiedenis van meer dan 800 jaar. Smith Haut Lafitte is toegewijd aan biologische en biodynamische landbouwpraktijken en staat bekend om zijn verfijnde rode wijnen, die een harmonieuze balans van fruit, tannines en zuurgraad vertonen, met tonen van zwarte bessen, ceder en specerijen. De witte wijnen van het landgoed zijn even indrukwekkend en bieden een levendige expressie van Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon en Sauvignon Gris, met hints van citrus, witte bloemen en mineraliteit.
