Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2018 Vintage Overview

2018 OVERVIEW

Château Lafite Rothschild 2018 is poised and intensely pure, layering deep blackcurrant and dark cherry fruit with hints of graphite, cedar, tobacco leaf and subtle spice. The palate is silky yet firmly structured, with superbly fine tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish that promises decades of graceful evolution.

About Chateau Lafite Rothschild

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.
