About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceChâteau Smith-Haut-Lafitte can possibly claim that the 2009 Rouge is possibly the best wine ever made from the estate. Quite a claim indeed, considering the quality of the wines produced in 2000, 2005 and what is looking like a predigeous 2010. Opulent and powerful with a bouquet of violets, liquorice and blueberries that are followed onto the definitively textured palate that seems to linger for an age. A remarkable acheivment even for an estate with such a pedigree of excellence.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
