The nose is relatively discreet at first, with notes of beautifully ripe yellow fruit. Swirling in the glass goes on to reveal a complex aromatic palette of white and yellow fruit (grapefruit, vineyard peach, apricot, citron),white flowers (lime blossom), spices (fresh ginger) and smoky nuances.

Color

Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte
From this winery
Situato nel cuore della denominazione di Pessac-Léognan, il castello Smith Haut Lafite è una classe cruciale di Graves, soprannominato "il più Graves dei Graves" per Bernard Ginestet, perché ha una quantità importantissima di tombe nel suolo. I 67 ettari ben situati in alto della denominazione hanno elaborato i vini bianchi e rossi di notorietà internazionale indiscutibile. Questo successo si deve sopratutto all'arrivo di Firenze e Daniel Cathiard che sono proprietari dello château del novembre 1990. Coppia appassionata dal vino, questi campioni di sci, riconvertiti con brio nella viticoltura che rispetta l'ambiente. Read more
