TASTING NOTES: Bright red color. Complex, ripe nose. Fresh maturity, exhaling blackberry and blackcurrant. An energetic attack quickly gives way to a dense, voluminous palate. The tannins are powerful, but never aggressive. The wine then takes us to a long, still tight, but harmonious finish. A wine that is waiting to open up in 4 to 5 years.

BRAND NAME: Lafite 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.
