Château Lafite Rothschild
Château Lafite Rothschild is a Médoc wine estate comprising 103 hectares of vines in the prestigious Pauillac appellation. A member of the elitist club of "five" châteaux elected Premiers Grands Crus Classés according to the 1855 classification, Château Lafite Rothschild undeniably enjoys international renown. It shares this rare distinction with Châteaux Margaux, Latour, Mouton Rothschild and Haut-Brion.

Eric de Rothschild has held the reins of the estate since 1975. Upon his arrival, he began replanting the vines, followed by a spectacular modernization of the winery. In their youth, Château Lafite Rothschild wines possess the depth of the finest. Over the years, they develop the nobility of their spicy bouquet, marked by the delicacy of violets. Elegant tannins, silky structure, Château Lafite Rothschild wines possess the class and elegance of which only great wines have the secret.

"Rated 100/100 - Refinement, elegance and perfection are the watchwords!"

"As usual, Lafite Rothschild positions itself with finesse and depth. The tannins are extremely precise, and the wine stands out for its 12.5% alcohol... deep and subtle, it doesn't try to show off and has precise, supportive, fine-grained tannins. You can feel its greatness, this unchanging element, even in wines that are in "hibernation" mode. Every year, it seems to me that Lafite rises above the vintage, following its own path, its own logic. For me, it's one of the greatest successes of the vintage. It doesn't crush anything, it speaks calmly, serenely, clearly. That's its essential strength".

"A legendary bottle!

"Deep purple-black in color, Lafite Rothschild 2018 needs shaking in the glass to reveal intoxicating notes of cassis, baked plums and black cherry compote, with a hint of dark chocolate, licorice, cast-iron skillet, cedar, fertile soil and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate drips with class, with layers of mineral-tinged black fruits and deliciously ripe tannins. Epic length and depth. This 2018 expression is simply stunning and delicately crafted. The wine bears the singularly evocative imprint of Lafite and will require 7-8 years in bottle, then should continue to inspire admiration for the next 40 years."
