Lafite Rothschild 2016 OWC

Synonymous with prestige, Château Lafite Rothschild in Pauillac crafts red wines of unrivalled finesse, symbols of Bordeaux excellence. The exceptional 2016 vintage is a masterpiece for connoisseurs. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (70-95%), with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this wine flourishes on a terroir of deep gravel and limestone, guaranteeing unique complexity. The ideal climate in 2016 enabled the grapes to reach perfect ripeness. Hand-harvesting and parcel-by-parcel vinification in wood, stainless steel and cement vats, followed by 18 to 20 months' ageing in new barrels, confer a masterful structure. On the palate, it offers aromas of cedar, black fruits and graphite, with a silky texture, refined tannins and a long, spicy finish. This grand cru classé is perfect for a memorable tasting or an exceptional cellar.
