Château Lafite Rothschild

PREMIER CRU CLASSÉ, PAUILLAC

“Lafite has a soul, a beautiful, generous, kindly soul. Lafite turns bare earth into heaven. Lafite is harmony, a harmony between man and nature, because without our magnificent winegrowers, nothing would be accomplished.”
Baron Eric de Rothschild

In 1815, Guillaume Lawton said of Château Lafite, “I consider it to be the the most elegant and delicate, with the finest substance of the three (Premier Crus). The location of its vines is one of the finest in the Médoc”. In 1855 the Château was ranked as a Premier Grand Cru in the famous classification that was prepared for the Universal Exhibition of that year.

Intense bouquet of black fruit. This is a very elegant, harmonious wine, with powerful, ripe tannins, very pure fruit and good length.

TASTING NOTES (AT BOTTLING):
