Chateau Lafite-Rothschild 2023

An iconic, silky and delicate red wine from Pauillac

The estate

First among the classified growths of 1855 in Bordeaux, the Château Lafite-Rothschild is a lord on its gravel lands. Carrying a long viticultural tradition initiated in 1620, it has established itself over the centuries as a true standard-bearer of the Pauillac appellation on the left bank of the Bordeaux region. Indeed, from Cardinal Richelieu to the then President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, the great personalities of this world have fallen under the charm of these great wines with a unique soul and unparalleled refinement.

The vineyard

The Château Lafite-Rothschild 2023 is a Pauillac wine from a terroir with an exceptional location, with a vineyard divided into three major areas. From the hills surrounding the château to the Carruades plateau to the west and a plot in the neighbouring commune of Saint-Estèphe, Château Lafite-Rothschild watches over vines planted on deep, fine gravel soils with surface sands, while the limestone subsoil allows excellent drainage.

Blend

The Château Lafite-Rothschild 2023 is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (93%), Merlot (6%) and Petit Verdot (1%).
