Welcome to Episode 2348 of the Italian Wine Podcast On the Road Edition, Discovering Château Smith Haut Lafitte Florence Cathiard.

In this special On the Road Edition, Stevie Kim is back in Bordeaux, where she sits down with Florence Cathiard, co-owner of Château Smith Haut Lafitte in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux.

Florence explains the history of the chateau, the importance of organic and biodynamic agriculture, and the contribution of George Smith, the Scottish merchant who acquired the property in the mid-18th century, as well as the hidden symbology behind the chateau's distinctive label. 

Join Stevie on a backstage tour of the historic underground cellar as she learns about a very important guest who visited the chateau in 2023, and meet the next generation behind Les Sources de Caudalie, the luxury hotel adjoining the chateau.
