Les Hauts de Smith 2016
Created during the blending process of Château Smith HautLafitte, Les Hauts de Smith is vinified and aged with the same care as the Grand Vin. From the vineyard to the cellar, all the production techniques are identical.
Yield : 30 hl per hectare before selection of the 3 wines: Château Smith Haut Lafitte, Les Hauts de Smith and Le Petit Haut Lafitte.
Vinification : grapes are handpicked into small crates and pressed in a pneumatic winepress (to treat the fruit as gently as possible) with cold static settling and fermentation takes place in French oak barrels (50% new oak).
Aging : 10 months on the lees with bâtonnage in barrels made at the Château onsite cooperage.
