About this product
This Grand Cru Classe estate, which dates back to 1365, belongs to former French ski‑champions Florence and Daniel Cathiard. They practise precision viticulture with an emphasis on sustainable organic farming, including horse-drawn ploughing. This 2012 is amazingly concentrated, with superb richness, volume and vigour.

The opaque bluish-purple 2012 Smith Haut Lafite offers up notes of licorice, graphite, blueberry and blackberry fruit, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, stunningly ripe, velvety tannins and a long, long finish. This is another sensational effort from the Cathiards that is perfectly balanced, complex, super-rich and pure. Drink it over the next 20-25 years.
