Information
Dark colour with glints of purple giving the wine a bright, lively appearance. The nose is still quite closed but suggests tremendous depth. Aromas of black and red fruit, and cedar, characteristic of Lafite’s wines, then emerge. On the palate, the attack is impressive thanks to a remarkable blend that expresses its full harmony and power in a long, fresh finish.
This was an unusual year, and yet Lafite managed to demonstrate its extraordinary potential while at the same time keeping its balance and elegance.
Winemaking
The harvest is manual. The vinification is carried out on a plot basis in a vat room combining large traditional oak vats and thermoregulated stainless steel vats. Only vines over 10 years old are used for the great wine . The proportion of Cabernet sauvignon varies from 80 to 95% depending on the vintage, Merlot from 5 to 20% with sometimes a little Cabernet franc and Petit Verdot. After assembly, the 18 to 20 month aging is carried out in new oak barrels. An important particularity, the barrels are made by Domaines de Rothschild's own Tonnellerie, allowing the barrels to be perfectly matched. The wine is bottled after fining with fresh egg whites.
Story
“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
