Lafite Rothschild 1997
The Château Lafite Rothschild 1997, from the gravel soils of Pauillac, is a Premier Grand Cru Classé. Blended with 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot, aged in new barrels, it offers aromas of cedar and dark fruits. Its silky, mineral texture is sublime alongside game or a rib-eye steak.
Château Lafite Rothschild
An iconic estate in Pauillac, this domaine has embodied Bordeaux excellence since the 19th century, combining family heritage with mastery of an exceptional terroir.
- Terroir: Deep, fine gravel over a limestone subsoil, shaping wines of distinctive minerality and rare elegance.

Tasting notes for Château Lafite Rothschild 1997
To the eye: A garnet red robe with tawny highlights, dense and luminous, revealing a velvety texture from the very first glance.
On the nose: A bouquet of great complexity – wild blackberry, fresh cedar, faded violet and a saline graphite note, evolving towards hints of blonde tobacco and liquorice.
On the palate: A silky entry, carried by a lively acidity and chalky minerality, leading to a long, taut finish where candied dark fruits and soft spices intertwine.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its aromatic palette.
Vintage 1997
A vintage marked by a capricious summer, saved by a sunny September, yielding a wine of precocious elegance and fine persistence.
- Ageing potential: Drink until 2030; store in a cool cellar (12–14°C) away from light.
