Why is Château Lafite Rothschild considered one of the finest wines of Bordeaux?
Château Lafite Rothschild has been classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé since the famous 1855 classification, a distinction it shares with only four other properties in the Médoc. Its exceptional terroir in Pauillac, composed of deep gravels and a clay-limestone subsoil, offers ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The style of Lafite is distinguished by a rare elegance: silky tannins, incomparable aromatic finesse and exceptional longevity. It is this unique combination of terroir, ancestral expertise and consistency in quality that makes it an absolute reference in the world of wine.
