Château Smith Haut-Lafitte sits in Pessac-Léognan, the historic heart of Graves where limestone-clay soils and Atlantic influence shape distinctive white wines. The estate focuses on Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, varieties that thrive in this terroir's cool microclimates. The flagship Pessac-Léognan Blanc blends Sauvignon Gris, Sémillon, and Sauvignon Blanc into a wine of mineral precision and aromatic complexity. Secondary expressions—Les Hauts de Smith and Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte—offer Sauvignon Blanc-driven alternatives across the range. Wine Advocate, Decanter, Falstaff, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Spectator have all assessed the winery's output, reflecting its standing within the appellation's white wine conversation.
