Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2003 marries ripe blackcurrant and plum fruit with layers of cedar, tobacco leaf and fine gravelly minerality, feeling both powerful and silken on the palate. The concentration is generous yet impeccably balanced, with polished tannins and a very long, tapering finish that now shows hints of cocoa and sweet spice. A sumptuous, classical Lafite from a hot year, showing its pedigree in its freshness and finesse.
Roast rack of lamb with rosemary and thyme; dry-aged ribeye with bordelaise sauce; duck breast with blackcurrant jus

Château Lafite Rothschild, the grand vin of this historic Pauillac first growth, is a predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon blend from old vines rooted in deep gravel over limestone on the château’s slopes, the Carruades plateau, and parcels in Saint-Estèphe. Renowned for its refined, cedar-tinged bouquet and a balance of power, finesse, and longevity, it is widely regarded as one of Bordeaux’s most elegant and collectible wines.
