Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte, offered by Pessac Lognan, is a red wine showing a compact ruby color. On the nose it gives aromas of ripe fruit and discreet notes of spice and herbs, with a balance that is not exaggerated. On the palate it displays a tannic structure that is present yet well integrated, balanced acidity and a medium to fuller body; the finish is savory and persistent without being heavy. The drinking experience is pleasant and characterful, suitable for those seeking a red with personality without excess.

It pairs easily with dishes of red meat, game in restrained preparations, hard cheeses and braised dishes; it also goes well with mushroom-based cuisine. Serve at around 16–18 °C, opening the bottle a few minutes beforehand to allow the aromas to open. Store in a cool, dark place. For optimal consumption, choose wines kept in appropriate storage conditions and according to personal taste.
