Château Lafite Rothschild – 1er Grand Cru Classé Pauillac – 2024 (wooden case of 6 bottles)

Château Lafite-Rothschild, one of the undeniable jewels of Bordeaux, has an exceptional terroir of fine and deep gravel on a limestone base, to the north of the appellation. The 112 hectares of vines are largely dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), combined with Merlot (25%), Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The estate practices a very strict selection, with more than 50% of the harvest often discarded from the great wine.
The 1er Cru Classé signs its vintages with a tight but magnificently velvety tannic structure, and a subtle expression, tinged with cedar and graphite. As for its potential for the future in the cellar, it is breathtaking!
Since 1868, the château has belonged to Domaines Barons de Rothschild. In early 2018, Eric de Rothschild handed over to his daughter, Saskia de Rothschild, and entrusted the management of the property to Jean-Guillaume Prats.
