Château Lafite Rothschild
Pauillac - 1er Grand Cru Classé
Description
Under the leadership of Saskia de Rothschild, this premier grand cru classé from the 1855 classification owns a vineyard that covers 100 hectares and faces south-east, sitting on gravel and sand soils with a limestone bedrock. Harvested by hand, the grapes are vinified plot-by-plot in large oak, stainless-steel and cement (for the Merlot) vats. The wine is aged in barrels produced by the château for between 18 and 20 months. Tasting it reveals a wine of great elegance, full of black fruits, soft spices, flowers and fine wood notes. To be left in your cellar for a long time.
