CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 1993

Wine 1993 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

The alternation of good weather and rain during the 1993 harvest, precipitated the fermentation of the grapes, but the concentration of tannins remained good. The harvest was completed in sunny weather.
Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1993 is a well-balanced wine with good ageing potential. The fine and discreet nose reveals a good harmony. This premier cru classé has an intense and splendid color.

Lean on the palate with a nose of dried herbs, green tea leaves and cedar. There is no greenness from the rainy vintage and no bitterness. This is by no means an powerful or intense wine but there is plenty of charm and it is ready to enjoy. Delicious with steak and much better than I expected.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Because Lafite-Rothschild tends to lack the weight of many wines of the northern Medoc, and is never a flashy, ostentatious style of wine, it is often more difficult to evaluate when young than some of its neighbors. A successful wine for Lafite, this dark rubypurple-colored 1993 is tightly-wound, medium-bodied, with a closed set of aromatics that reluctantly reveal hints of sweet blackcurrant fruit, weedy tobacco, and lead pencil scents. Polished and elegant, with Lafite's noble restraint, this is an excellent, classy, slightly austere wine.

Medium ruby garnet with ochre-orange reflections and broader rim lightening. On the nose delicately vegetal, leafy nuances, with floral-ethereal hints, the fruit does not come to the fore. On the palate rather lean, shows

Very polished and well-crafted black cherry, toast, earth and mineral flavors, all in nice proportions. Medium body, supple tannins.

Dark color, medium intensity and evolved. There are traces of methoxypyrazine on the nose (green pepper). Light palate with a touch of acidity.

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.
