Château Lafite Rothschild

Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the most renowned properties in the Médoc. Owned by Baron Eric de Rothschild and Located in the north of the Pauillac appellation, Lafite Rothschild is also one of the largest Médoc estates. It has 95 hectares of vineyards planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (20%) and Cabernet Franc (10%).

Lafite Rothschild's vineyards lie on deep gravel beds (up to 5 metres thick) over marl and limestone. Annual production tops 35,000 cases, although a third of this consists of the second wine called Carruades de Lafite.

Of all the Médoc Grand Crus, Lafite Rothschild can be the most beguiling and difficult to understand. It is never the most powerful, yet, along with Margaux, possesses the most exquisite bouquet of any Médoc wine. It has the elegance, balance and harmony that epitomises claret at its very best.

				0 in basket

	Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, Ready, but will keep, 12.5% alc. As usual Lafite's immensely classy 'second wine' is better than many of the other classed growths' 'first wines'. Made from 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Merlot, this is well-rounded and seductive with fresh, perfumed, lively red fruit and supple tannins. Drink 2007-2011. MORE

	Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12.5% alc. Only 39% of production was used for the Grand Vin and with a whopping 90.5% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend the 2004 Lafite needs little introduction. This wine has one of the most exciting noses - intense, spicy, pure cassis and a generous helping of creamy vanilla. The palate is just as exciting, exhibiting terrific concentration and a hint of warm new oak which leads to an intense, linear core of lively blackcurrants and layers of intriguing minerality.The Cabernet was very evident on the finish with the variety's characteristically firm tannins taking over at the end, making this one for the long-term.

				0 in basket

	Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 13% alc. This is an extremely Grand Vin for a second wine. A beguiling perfumed nose seems to offer almost tropical hints to the main fruity, floral and cedar aromas. Carruades is normally a bit harder to get into but when you taste it you feel you want to take this home and drink it straightaway; on your own.There is concentrated red fruit on the palate, that is silky, elegant and complex, all buttressed very nicely by a slab of fresh acidity and very fine tannins. Tasted blind you would easily take this for a 2nd or 3rd growth. Drink 2013-2030. MORE BBR Score: 17.5/20. Jancis Score: 18/20. Parker Score: 89 /100. Wine Spectator Score: 89 -91 /100.

	Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, Ready, but will improve, 12.5% alc. " A spectacular value as well as a sleeper of the vintage is the 135,000-bottle cuvee of 2003 Carruades de Lafite (50% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Cabernet Franc). This amazing effort rivals such superb second wines as the 1989 Bahans-Haut-Brion and 1982 Forts de Latour. A serious red, it is sexy, opulent, rich, and luscious with silky tannin, enormous body, and wave after wave of mocha-infused black cherry and cassis fruit. It is almost too good to be believed. While drinkable now, it should evolve for 12-15 years or longer. " 93/100 pts. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - April 2006) MORE

				0 in basket

	Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12.5% alc. Only 41% of Lafite’s production made its way into the grand vin in 2002 such is the commitment to quality here. This has an obviously classy perfumed nose with a fresh and appealing purity. This is replicated on the serious palate with its lashings of ripe strawberry and black cherry fruit, new oak and firm tannins. From a relatively restrained start the wine develops beautifully in the mouth, with smoky dark fruit and tobacco hints leading to a firm, long finish. This is a strong candidate for ‘wine of the vintage’ in 2002. MORE Drink: 2010 -2020 . Jancis Score: 17/20. Parker Score: 94 /100.

Full-bodied, with gorgeously velvety tannins and a long finish of pretty fruit. This is a racy yet elegant Lafite. Classy. Best after 2010. 95/100 points.
