Gravely serious yet glowing with energy, 2010 Château Lafite Rothschild layers pure blackcurrant and plum fruit with cool graphite, cedar spice and a delicate floral lift, all wrapped in a powerful frame of ultra-fine, still-youthful tannin. The palate feels deep and concentrated but never heavy, driven by vibrant acidity that stretches the flavors into a long, mineral-tinged finish, clearly marking this as one of the great, long-lived Lafites of the modern era.

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.
