Doctorwine - Strangely enough, the color has only a medium intensity but at the same time a beautiful integrity. The cleanliness of the aroma is exemplary and there are even floral whiffs along with notes of chocolate, cinnamon and pine needles. The mouthfeel is rounded, soft and caressing. A wine at the peak of its splendid evolution and drinking it is a profound pleasure.

Château Lafite Rothschild

Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the oldest and most prestigious estates in the Pauillac appellation, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, but it was in the 18th century that the château gained international renown, particularly among the European courts. In the 1855 classification, Château Lafite Rothschild was classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé, durably enshrining its status at the very top of the Bordeaux hierarchy.

In the Rothschild family's possession since 1868, the estate rests on a terroir of fine, deep gravels perfectly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines of Château Lafite Rothschild are distinguished by their finesse, aromatic precision and balance, favouring elegance and length over demonstrative power.

Aged in new oak barrels, the wines focus on fine tannin grain, freshness and length rather than power, and require time before opening up. The estate's great reference points range from the 1982 wine, which ushered in the modern era, to the 1989 vintage and the 1996 wine for the end of the century, then to 2009 and the 2010 vintage, two consecutive years at the pinnacle of the recent period. Carruades de Lafite, more influenced by Merlot and drawn primarily from the eponymous plateau, offers the most accessible expression.
