Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with vibrant edges. Aromas of blackcurrant, plum, graphite and subtle cedar rise gracefully from the glass. On the palate, the wine is poised and layered — dark berries, red cherry, gentle spice and a touch of cocoa unfold across fine, silky tannins. The acidity is bright, giving the wine lift and length. The finish is smooth and refined, tapering with notes of forest fruit and fresh earth.
Food Pairing
This wine elevates dishes that combine savoury depth with refined textures. It pairs beautifully with herb-roasted lamb, grilled beef tenderloin, duck breast, mushroom fricassée or truffle-infused pasta. It also complements charcuterie, aged cheeses and slow-braised meats, where its elegant tannins and polished fruit weave seamlessly into richer flavours. Every sip adds structure and sophistication to the meal.
Description
Le Lièvre embodies the signature sophistication of Château Smith Haut Lafitte in a more approachable, early-drinking style. The 2021 vintage highlights clarity of fruit, fresh structure and refined tannins — traits that speak to the same meticulous viticulture and sustainable philosophy that define the estate’s grander wines. It is polished yet inviting, elegant yet wonderfully drinkable.
