Château Smith Haut Lafitte
Château Smith Haut Lafitte · Burdeos, Francia, Martillac
Por The 50 Discovery ·
Milk and honey: Its history dates back to the fourteenth century but it is the past 30 years that are helping Château Smith Haut Lafitte make a lasting mark. In 1990, the estate was bought by former French Olympic skier Daniel Cathiard and his wife Florence, who have embraced biodynamic farming and brought a certain je ne sais quoi to hosting, turning this quintessential Bordeaux winery into a luxury destination.
Roaming the vineyards, you’ll see shire horses ploughing land surrounded by woodland, orchards and beehives. They’re all cultivated to enhance biodiversity, not just for more complex wines but to ensure the estate’s longevity and minimize its carbon footprint.
