The estate owes its reputation as the "quintessential Graves" to both the smoky notes of its wines and its hillside terroir (Laffite or Lafite in Old French), made up of semi-precious and river stones deposited by the Garonne millions of years ago.
Composed of Günz gravel, the Smith Haut Lafitte terroir boasts two surprising characteristics: superb natural drainage that forces the vine roots to descend deep to extract water and mineral salts over six meters deep and a "mirror effect" that reflects the sun's rays onto the gravelly soil for optimal maturation.
Excellent with noble, succulent and spicy red meats, duck, pigeon, mature cheeses, game.
