🏛 A legend in liquid form—elegance, power, and poise in perfect harmony.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep, radiant ruby that hints at longevity and depth. The clarity and intensity promise complexity to come.

👃 On the Nose:
A remarkably refined bouquet with layered aromas of graphite, cassis, violets, cedar, and tobacco leaf. Over time, earthy nuances, cigar box, and truffle emerge, revealing the wine’s aristocratic lineage.

👅 On the Palate:
A masterclass in balance—silky tannins cloak an intense core of blackcurrant, plum, and pencil lead. The mid-palate is expansive, with a spine of minerality and freshness that carries into a hauntingly long, elegant finish. Structured yet seamless, with age revealing ever more nuance.

🥩 Food Pairing:
Roast lamb with rosemary, aged ribeye, wild game, or a decadent mushroom risotto. Sophisticated enough to shine on its own.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Cellar-worthy for decades. At peak from 15–40 years after vintage, but many examples thrive past the half-century mark.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Château Lafite-Rothschild is not just a wine—it’s an experience. Revered for its finesse and longevity, it’s the epitome of Pauillac grandeur, reserved for life’s most extraordinary moments.
