Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2017 shows a quietly powerful character, leading with pure blackcurrant and dark plum layered over tobacco leaf, pencil shavings and gentle spice. The palate is medium-bodied but intensely focused, with silken, tightly woven tannins and a vibrant core of fruit that stretches into a long, cool, refined finish. Classic in profile and clearly Cabernet-driven, it promises significant complexity with time in the cellar.

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.
