Vinous Tasting Note

(87.2% cabernet sauvignon and 12.8% merlot; 13.5% alcohol) Glass-staining deep purple-ruby. Archetypical Lafite elegance on the nose, offering delicate, pure aromas of cassis, blueberry, cedar and graphite complicated by intense minerality. Then bright and fresh in the mouth, with perfectly harmonious acids nicely supporting the pretty blackcurrant, cedar and delicate herbal flavors. Very long and extremely refined, with uncanny silkiness of tannins. A cool, refined, impeccably balanced Lafite that will need plenty of aging: drink 2022 through 2050. One of the top half dozen wines of the vintage.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Lafite Rothschild stands out in Pauillac as one of the most accomplished expressions of great Bordeaux wine, rooted in a terroir of deep gravel that gives Cabernet Sauvignon rare poise and finesse. Heir to an ancient history, celebrated under the Ségur family before entering the Rothschild orbit, the estate has built an identity where prestige never takes precedence over precision. In the northern Médoc, it cultivates a racy, nuanced style, always driven by freshness, cedar, graphite, and that lingering finish that allows the wine to endure. Under the guidance of the Rothschild family and the teams that watch over the vineyard today, Château Lafite Rothschild continues a highly refined interpretation of its plots and aging process. The "grand vin" remains the beating heart of the property, while Carruades de Lafite offers a more supple and immediate variation without blurring the estate's hierarchy. The silhouette of the château, its anchor in Pauillac, and its reputation as a wine of the court compose a living heritage rather than a mere myth. Château Lafite Rothschild thus remains a major reference for those seeking a Pauillac of great aging potential, serene depth, and lasting elegance.
