Château Lafite Rothschild 2021

CHF 640.00 (75cl)

Colour

A beautiful concentrated color.

Nose

With a deep bouquet of black fruits and liquorice.

Palate

Solid and dense wine on the palate, with a beautiful structure and well-pronounced tannins. Long and persistent with notes of violet on the finish.

Wine-growing terroir

On the most beautiful hills of Pauillac, it is a territory that the poet Ausone already spoke of around the year 325. The vineyard, of 112 hectares, includes three large areas: the hillsides around the Château, the Carruades plateau contiguous to the west and a plot in the neighboring town of Saint-Estèphe. These are fine and deep gravel lands, mixed with aeolian sands on a well-drained limestone subsoil.

Winemaking

Fermentations in large oak vats and steel vats, aging for 18 to 20 months in new oak barrels, all coming from the estate cooperage.

Bottle closure

Cork

Packaging

Wooden box
