CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 1991

Wine 1991 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

The vines suffered very heavy frosts, the worst in decades.
However, the 1991 harvest was good, with storms and sunny periods. The 1991 vintage is impressive, by its quality and its consistency. Château Lafite Rothschild 1991 is a wine with well worked tannins, they are light while remaining ripe. This wine is very frank, straight and clean, with a good length in the mouth.

Doctorwine (03-2016) A full, red color with a transparent edge. The bouquet has notes of orange and spice, curry and turmeric, crushed flowers and moss. The mouthfeel is solemn yet stimulating thanks to its broadness and drinkability. Despite the ‘classic’ year, the wine expresses itself with great empathy.

Bright red. Medium intensity. Black reflections. Evolved. Clean nose. Medium intensity. Fruity. Animal. Swirling. Quite reduced. The palate starts soft with flesh, but quickly evolves more lively and acidic in the finish, lacking fat.

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.
