While the estate produces both red and white wines, only the red wine belongs to this classification. Since then, the first wine has been part of the Cru Classé de Graves for red wines. This classification of wines into quality levels aims to clarify the quality and price point of the wines produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Approximately 78 hectares are cultivated with various grape varieties. For red wine, 67 hectares are planted with the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon (63%), Merlot (30%), Cabernet Franc (6%) and Petit Verdot (1%).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The white wine is produced on an area of approximately 11 hectares, using the grape varieties Sauvignon Blanc (90%), Sauvignon Gris (5%) and Sémillon (5%). Around 200,000 bottles are marketed annually (including second wines).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The winery also produces two second wines, the \"Les Hauts de Smith\" as a red, white and rosé wine, and the \"Petit Haut Lafitte\" as a white and red wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Complete your wine collection with the perfect vintage from Château Smith Haut Lafitte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Collect wine now!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Would you like to learn more about the winery?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e With one click you will be taken directly to the website of \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"External link to the website of Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smith-haut-lafitte.com\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eChâteau Smith Haut Lafitte\u003c\/a\u003e .\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chateau-smith-haut-lafitte-2006-xg122006naa","title":"Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte 2006","description":"\u003ch2\u003e About the 2006 vintage of Château Smith Haut Lafitte\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e An elegant Bordeaux wine from Pessac-Léognan for collectors and investors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Discover the 2006 vintage of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, an outstanding red wine from the prestigious Cru Classé de Graves in Bordeaux.
