Blended at the same time as Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, Le Petit Haut Lafitte is crafted and aged in our energy-plus facilities with the same care as the estate’s Grand Vin. From the vineyard to the cellar, the entire winemaking process is exactly the same.
Yield: 35 hectoliters per hectare prior to selection for the three wines: Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, Le Petit Haut Lafitte and Les Hauts de Smith. Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon 40% Merlot Winemaking: Grapes are sorted twice, before and after destemming, and are not pressed before undergoing fermentation in vats. Tannins and color are extracted by punching down and/or pumping over. Maceration takes place at 2628°C; tasting determines the length of maceration for each vat (from 4 to 6 weeks). Aging: 14 months in barrels (20% new barrels) produced in our in-house cooperage. To be enjoyed from 2020.
