Lafite Rothschild 2012 OWC

In the heart of Pauillac, Château Lafite Rothschild embodies the elegance of Bordeaux red wines, combining tradition and innovation. The structured, vibrant 2012 vintage is a jewel for connoisseurs. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (70-95%), with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this wine flourishes on a terroir of gravel and limestone, guaranteeing unique concentration. The balanced climate of 2012 ensured optimum ripeness of the grapes. Hand-harvesting and parcel-by-parcel vinification in wood, stainless steel and cement vats, followed by 18 months' ageing in new barrels, give this wine an elegant structure. Tasting reveals aromas of cedar, black fruits and graphite, with a silky texture and a mineral, spicy finish. This grand cru classé is an ideal choice for a refined tasting or a prestige cellar.
