Château Smith Haut Lafitte, Grand Cru Classé wine estate in Martillac, France.

Château Smith Haut Lafitte is a Grand Cru Classé wine estate in the Pessac-Léognan appellation covering approximately 87 hectares. The property blends vineyards with forests and hedgerows while producing both red and white wines of distinction.

The property dates back to 1365 but was acquired in 1720 by Scottish merchant Georges Smith, who built the manor house. His name remains part of the estate's designation, marking this formative period in its development.

The Cathiard family maintains traditional winemaking practices that are still visible across the property, from horse-drawn plowing to hand-harvesting grapes. These methods shape the daily work and give visitors a sense of the care that goes into each vintage.

The estate offers daily guided tours and wine tastings, with advance reservations required for all visits. Visitors should book ahead to secure a place and plan their timing accordingly.

The estate operates its own barrel-making workshop on site and maintains a protected vine nursery on Ile de Lalande. These operations preserve old grape varieties and ensure control over the entire production process.
