Château Smith Haut Lafitte
Château Smith Haut Lafitte is a property located in the small commune of Martillac in the Pessac-Léognan appellation (Left Bank), just south of the city of Bordeaux. The history can be traced back to 1365, when the house of Verrier Du Boscq planted vines on a gravel plateau named “Lafitte”. In 1720, the vineyard was bought by Georges Smith from Scotland, who added his name to the name of the vineyard. Georges Smith also built the manor house on the property.
In 1958, the Louis Eschenauer négociant firm who already sold the wine from Château Smith Haut Lafitte, bought the property and they invested a substantial amount into the winery and its vineyard. In 1959, Château Smith Haut Lafitte was classified as a Grand Cru Classé, but the overall quality of the wines was unfortunately below standard until 1990, when Daniel and Florence Cathiard bought the estate.
