Nestled in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Château Smith Haut Lafitte boasts a rich Bordeaux heritage, tracing back to 1365. The property found new stewards in 1990 when former ski champions Daniel and Florence Cathiard acquired it, igniting a period of revitalization and renewed passion. The 2004 vintage of their Grand Vin unfolds with a captivating nose, featuring dark and red fruit, oak, smoky nuances, saddle leather, and layered secondary and tertiary notes. With a medium to full body, the wine presents sweet, velvety tannins, a luxuriously smooth texture, and an enduring, extended finish
