Score 91/100 · Drink 1997-2012, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

This 100% barrel-fermented Sauvignon offers gorgeous portions of rich, honeyed, fig, and melony fruit, great purity, and well-integrated new oak. It is neither heavy nor excessively alcoholic. This charming, complex, beautifully made white Graves should drink well for 15 years. Last tasted 3/97

About the producer

Château Smith Haut Lafitte - producer
Smith Haut Lafitte

Ch. Smith Haut Lafitte is one of the leading lights of Pessac-Léognan today – all thanks to Daniel and Florence Cathiard, who took over the property in 1990 and have since transformed the estate, converting to biodynamics and crafting wines of increasing finesse.
