GRAPES VARITETIES: 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot
TASTING NOTES: A wine that provides extreme sensations, everything seems perfectly in place. The nose, still discrete, reveals the balance of the bouquet, carried by fresh leather, violet, and cherry. On the palate, almost shy at first, it gradually unveils its incredible power, perfectly tamed by remarkably silky tannins.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Red Meat | BBQ | Cold Cuts | Bun Bo Nam Bo
BRAND NAME: Lafite
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.
