Lafite Rothschild 1997
Lafite Rothschild 1997
Synonymous with excellence, Château Lafite Rothschild in Pauillac produces red wines of rare elegance, embodying the prestige of Bordeaux. The 1997 vintage, subtle and harmonious, is a nugget for connoisseurs. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this wine flourishes on a terroir of deep gravel and limestone, guaranteeing aromatic richness. The mild climate of 1997 enabled the grapes to ripen beautifully. Hand-harvesting and parcel-by-parcel vinification in wood and stainless steel vats, followed by 18 months' ageing in new barrels, produce a refined wine. On the palate, it offers aromas of cedar, black fruits and violets, with a silky texture and a spicy, mineral finish. This grand cru classé is ideal for a sophisticated tasting or an exceptional collection.
