Wine Spectator January - 2005
Wine Spectator
A wine with aromas and flavors of plum and raspberry. Medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a short finish. Good, but nothing special.

Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark red color. Good intensity. Beautiful. Medium intensity nose. Fruity. Ripe. A touch of leafiness. Cocoa notes on swirling. Wine with a fine texture and fruity taste tinged with a slight green aromatic note that carries through to the finish. Normal length. The 2004 will be riper.

Very light nose, lacking a little vitality and depth. Notes of anise and biscuit. The palate presents a beautiful maturity, discreet tannins and little grip. Finish with notes of tarry fruit. This wine will be an excellent wine to drink from its first tasting.

Jancis Robinson April - 2003

Robe pourpre très profonde et acidité prononcée. Grande souplesse (bonne) mais un peu creux (mauvais). Le moins impressionnant des meilleurs seconds vins. Je soupçonne que l'acidité sera toujours un fléau pour cet assemblage de 51 % de cabernet sauvignon et 46 % de merlot, qui représente près d'un tiers de la récolte totale de Lafite.

Château Lafite Rothschild

Château Lafite Rothschild, 1st growth classified in 1855, is one of the most renowned Bordeaux châteaux. It shares the top position with the greatest in the official 1855 classification. Located in the Pauillac appellation, the 103-hectare vineyard is divided into three plots: the slopes surrounding the château, the Carruades plateau to the west, and a 4.5-hectare plot in the neighboring commune of Saint-Estèphe. The majority of the terroir consists of fine, deep gravel mixed with aeolian sand on a tertiary limestone base. The grape variety composition is 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. The average age of the vines for the grand vin is 40 years, with the 20 hectares of young vines (less than 10 years old) being used for the second wine. There are also extremely old plots of over 80 years, one called "La Gravière" even dating back to 1886. Wine maturation is carried out for 18 to 20 months in 100% new oak barrels. Lafite Rothschild produces approximately 15,000 to 20,000 cases per year. The estate also produces a second wine, Carruades de Lafite, with about 25,000 to 30,000 cases. The name of Château Lafite Rothschild's second wine comes from the "Carruades plateau", where a group of plots was located, which was purchased by the château in the 19th century and adjoined the château's hillock. The "Carruades de Lafite" was formerly called "Moulin des Carruades", before taking on the name Carruades de Lafite.

The legendary vintages of Château Lafite Rothschild are 1921, 1945, 1959, 1982, 1986, 1988 and 2000, 2005 in recent years.
