CHATEAU SMITH HAUT – LAFITTE, LES HAUTS DE SMITH rouge 2016

70,00

Les Hauts de Smith nudi zrelu crnu šljivu i kupinu na nosu, naznake sous-boisa u pozadini. Nepce je vrlo glatko i zaobljeno. Ovo je vino čija je tekstura, čak iu ovom ranom trenutku, krajnje zavodljiva, lijepo se nadograđuju do senzualne završnice začinjene klinčićima i mljevenim crnim paprom.

 

Les Hauts de Smith offers ripe black plum and blackberry on the nose, hints of sous-bois in the background. The palate is very smooth and rounded on the entry. This is a wine whose texture, even at this early juncture, is utterly seductive, building nicely to a sensual finish spiced up with cloves and cracked black pepper.

REGIJA / REGION

Bordeaux je vinska regija smještena u jugozapadnoj Francuskoj te je domovina najpoznatijih svjetskih vinara. Ima stoljetnu tradiciju, a u vinima Bordeaux-a uživali su i stari Rimljani. Oko grada Bordeaux-a se nalazi 14 000 proizvođača vina te 117 514 hektara vinograda.

Regija je u blizini rijeke Gironde te Atlantskog oceana zbog čega ima morsku klimu. Ocean i rijeka donose blagu zimu i topla ljeta te duge sunčane jeseni. Regija je zaštićena od oceanskih snažnih vjetrova sa gustom borovom šumom koja se proteže paralelno uz regiju. Zbog rijeke i oceana regija ima vapnenačko tlo sa glinom i pijeskom što je izuzetno pogodno tlo za uzgoj vinove loze.

Bordeaux je najpoznatiji po crvenim vinima te plemenitim slatkim vinima, no ne zaostaju ni visokokvalitetna bijela vina. Bordeaux crvena vina imaju jedinstveni izražaj regije koji je prepoznatljiv u cijelom svijetu. Najčešće crne sorte koja se uzgajaju su Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec. Najčešće bijele sorte su Sauvignon blanc, Semilion i Muscadelle. Klasifikacija bordoških vina počela je 1855. godine. Bordoški vinogradi podjeljeni su na pet regija; Entre-Deux-Mers, Libournais, Bourgeais-Blayais, Gravec i Medoc.

Bordeaux is a wine region located in southwestern France and is home to the world’s most famous winemakers. It has a century-old tradition, and the wines of Bordeaux were enjoyed by the ancient Romans. There are 14,000 wine producers and 117,514 hectares of vineyards around the city of Bordeaux.

The region is close to the Gironde River and the Atlantic Ocean, which is why it has a maritime climate. The ocean and river bring mild winters and warm summers and long sunny autumns. The region is protected from strong ocean winds with a dense pine forest that runs parallel to the region. Due to the river and ocean, the region has calcareous soil with clay and sand, which is an extremely suitable soil for growing vines.

Bordeaux is best known for its red wines and noble sweet wines, but high-quality white wines are not far behind. Bordeaux red wines have a unique expression of the region that is recognizable all over the world. The most common black varieties that are grown are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec. The most common white varieties are Sauvignon blanc, Semilion and Muscadelle. The classification of Bordeaux wines began in 1855. The Bordeaux vineyards are divided into five regions; Entre-Deux-Mers, Libournais, Bourgeais-Blayais, Gravec and Medoc.

O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY

O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY

U 14. stoljeću Verrier Du Bosq potpisao je prve zabilježene akte za nekoliko redova vinove loze. George Smith, škotski trgovac vinom, stekao je posjed sredinom 18. stoljeća i nazvao ga po sebi. Lodi Martin Duffour-Dubergier , gradonačelnik Bordeauxa i potpisnik službene klasifikacije iz 1855., stekao je imanje 1842. godine i uzdigao ga u status Grand Cru Exceptionnel .

Početkom 20. stoljeća, pregovaračka tvrtka Eschenauer, na čelu s poznatim “ujakom Louisom” Eschenauerom, prodavala je vina Smith Haut Lafitte i na kraju kupila dvorac 1958. godine.

Godine 1990. Daniel i Florence Cathiard zaljubili su se u Château Smith Haut Lafitte, koji su stekli s čvrstom namjerom da ovjekovječe njegovu tradiciju izvrsnosti. “Naša filozofija može se sažeti u jednu rečenicu: učiniti sve što je moguće kako bi svaka berba crnog i bijelog vina bila dostojna našeg veličanstvenog terroira.”

Nakon tri godine provedene u obnovi imanja, Cathiardi su tu živjeli, u grafikonu iz 18. stoljeća koji potječe iz doba Georgea Smitha, kako bi se, uz pomoć talentiranog i motiviranog tima, posvetili nadzoru uzgoja vina.

 

In the 14th century, Verrier Du Bosq signed the first recorded deeds for a few vine rows. George Smith, a Scottish wine merchant, acquired the property in the mid-18th century and named it after himself. Lodi Martin Duffour-Dubergier, Mayor of Bordeaux and signer of the official 1855 classification, acquired the estate in 1842 and elevated it to Grand Cru Exceptionnel status. 

In the early 20th century, the négociant firm Eschenauer, headed by the famous “Uncle Louis” Eschenauer, sold Smith Haut Lafitte wines and ended up buying the château in 1958.

In 1990, Daniel and Florence Cathiard fell in love with Château Smith Haut Lafitte, which they acquired with the firm intention of perpetuating its tradition of excellence. “Our philosophy can be summed up in one sentence: to do everything possible to make each vintage of red and white wine worthy of our magnificent terroir.”

After three years spent renovating the estate, the Cathiards came to live there, in the 18th century chartreuse dating from George Smith’s time, in order to devote themselves to overseeing winegrowing, with the help of a talented and motivated team.
