Smith-Haut-Lafitte produces some of the best wines โ€“ in both red and white โ€“ in Bordeaux. In recent years, investments by the Cathiard family have brought the quality up to a level that rivals the first growths. Critical praise has followed, and in 2009 they even garnered a 100-point score from Robert Parker.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 95
"One canโ€™t say enough about this winery, which may still fly under the radar of most consumers. The fully mature 2000 displays gorgeous aromas of camphor, lead pencil shavings, unsmoked tobacco, plums, and black currants. With full body, a velvety texture, and beautiful weight, richness, and length, this superb wine should evolve, possibly improve for another 15 years. Itโ€™s a beauty!" -Robert Parker

Decanter

D 90
"Deep red, mature rim, concentrated slightly 'gamey' fruit, good earthy ripeness, fleshy and smooth, ready now."

Wine Spectator

WS 90
"Showing a bit more maturity than some peers, this pushes singed cedar and smoldering alder flavors to the fore, along with well-mulled currant and fig fruit notes backed by a prominent tobacco edge on the finish. There?s a pretty sweetness of fruit here, even though this is fully into a secondary phase.?2000 Bordeaux blind retrospective"

Wine Enthusiast

WE 93
"The Cathiards have made a polished wine with generous fruit. It manages to combine a modern, rich style with a lightness of touch and freshness of fruit which make it instantly attractive."
