Château Lafite Rothschild is the quintessence of Pauillac wine. Elegant, refined and silken-textured, with a sense of understated concentration, restrained power and astonishing persistence - both in its capacity to age, and in the staying power of its flavours on the palate. Frequently displaying a surprising early charm, it nonetheless rarely reaches its full glory in less than a decade from vintage. Expect aromas and flavours of cool, black fruit, cedar chest, powdered graphite and a myriad of subtle nuances that become manifest in the glass. To enjoy now or over many years.

Press Review
" The aromas of stones, oyster shell, blackcurrants and mushrooms are very intense. Full-bodied, dense and powerful with lots of blackberries. Great finish. Super energy and depth. Try in 2022. Fascinating. "
Press Review
" The 2014 Lafite-Rothschild, tasted with head winemaker Eric Kohler, has retained that very opulent and outgoing bouquet that dare I say actually reminded me of Mouton-Rothschild. There are layers of blackberry and boysenberry fruit, still that hint of juniper berry, certainly a more extrovert Lafite-Rothschild compared to recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, very focused and quite linear, again with plenty of black fruit laced with cedar and tobacco. It begins to clam up towards the saline finish, suggesting that it will need several years in bottle, but I still have high expectations for this First Growth once afforded several years in bottle. Drink 2024-2045. "
