This chateau is very impressive, the tours are interesting and enlightening, but what comes over most is the attention to quality and tradition in the production of the wines. They have their own cooper on site to make the oak barrels they use, graoes are all hand picked, and no chemicals are used on the land. When you get to... More

The impressive history at Smith Haut Lafitte is well curated during a tour and tasting. Located in the tiny town of Leognan in the Graves area of Bordeaux adjacent to the luxurious Sources de Caudelie resort which offers a perfect lunch or dinner after your tour. But I recommend staying at least one night to take advantage of the property... More

Excellent wines and nice hidden treasure under the floor in the wine tasting areas (with wine from various years some in late 18 hundred and most of the better years in 1900 and 2000 on one table and bottles with different content ranging from half a bottle to a 16 liter bottle (nabuchodonosor). Quite impressive

Just spent a night at the Chateau whilst on a boys road trip around the Bordeaux vineyards. The stay here was definitely the highlight of our trip. Rooms were extremely well furnished, very clean and were original. The wecome to your room with a lovely glass of wine and fresh fruits was great. The Bistro restaurant served fantastic food and...

Excellent Michelin Star Restaurant, 1st growth wines are incredible, especially the red. Very beautiful visit. Hotel is set on beautiful property - hotel service friendly but relatively poor when compared to the restaurant and Chateau

Don't miss the visit to the chateau, but remember to reserve in advance the tour.. you can walk around the vineyards, enjoy the amazing spa in front of the chateau (vinotherapie de les source des caudaliers) and dine in one of the lovely restaurants at Les Source des Caudaliers. I would recommend Le Table du Lavoir..
