Classic in profile yet shaped by the cooler 2012 season, Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2012 offers fine-boned blackcurrant and red berry fruit wrapped in cedar, tobacco leaf and subtle earthy nuances, all carried on a surprisingly dense but aristocratically restrained frame. The tannins are polished and firm rather than showy, giving the wine a taut, focused finish that promises far more complexity with patient cellaring.

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.
