Château Lafite Rothschild

Château Lafite Rothschild · Bordeaux · France

Château Lafite Rothschild is an red wine from France, in the Bordeaux region (Southwest France, around the city of Bordeaux and the Garonne and Dordogne rivers.), made principally from Cabernet Sauvignon. The grand vin of a First Growth Pauillac — one of the most famous and collected wines in the world.

In character, this premium tier delivers the classic cabernet sauvignon profile — blackcurrant, bell pepper, mint, graphite — with the structural stamp of Bordeaux and a high-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
