The wine is medium-bodied with<br \/>\na nice acidity that gives it a nice length. It is a very pleasant wine, with juicy yellow fruits and a finish with<br \/>\npink grapefruit and broom flower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Le Petit Haut Lafitte red 2015<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Wine from the young vines of Ch\u00e2teau Smith Haut Lafitte<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Created during the blending process of Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, Le Petit Haut Lafitte is vinified and aged with the same care as the Grand Vin in our positive energy cellar.

Le Petit Haut Lafitte red 2015<br \/>\nWine from the young vines of Ch\u00e2teau Smith Haut Lafitte<\/p>\n<p>The year 2015 was marked by a long drought from March to July and a month of August rather cool and wet, causing early maturation while maintaining a beautiful freshness.<br \/>\nThanks to a precocious water stress we have a large productionof tannins and a beautiful maturation of them. The harvest lasted for 4 weeks, slowly, following the tannin maturation process. We harvested our grapes at their optimum.<br \/>\nThe harvest of the red grapes started on September 14th with the young Merlot grapes and on 22nd of September for the old Merlot vines. Then, the Petit Verdot on October 2nd, the Cabernet Sauvignon from 5th to 12th of October and we finished with our Cabernet Franc. It was a pleasure to harvest these perfectly ripped and balanced grapes, with a beautiful weather\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Le Petit Haut Lafitte red 2015 has a dark red color deep and dense.<br \/>\nThe nose expresses an elegant blend of red and black fruits, cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant with some empyreumatic and aromatic herbs notes.<br \/>\nThe palate is rich and concentrated with a good acidity and nice tanins. We recognize Cabernet Sauvignons\u2019 style ! The palet is aromatic and delicate with fresh fruits, pierre \u00e0 fusil, eucalyptus, dry herb notes and a lovely floral touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hauts de Smith blanc 2018<\/p>\n<p>Petit Haut Lafitte rouge 2015<\/p>\n<p>(shipping fees included)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":696,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[35],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-285","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-available-on-france"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epicurean.iditravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epicurean.iditravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epicurean.iditravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epicurean.iditravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epicurean.iditravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epicurean.iditravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epicurean.iditravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=285"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epicurean.iditravel.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
