Lafite Rothschild 1991
The Château Lafite Rothschild 1991, Premier Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac, reveals aromas of black cherry and liquorice, sublimated by ageing in barrels. Its palate, both silky and mineral, offers timeless elegance. Ideal with duck breast, it will continue to improve until 2030.
Château Lafite Rothschild
A legendary estate rooted in the terroir of Pauillac, a symbol of a viticultural heritage passed down since the 19th century by the Rothschild family.
- Terroir: Deep graves and gravelly soils of Pauillac, lending the wines a chalky minerality and a structured elegance.
- Vinification: A classical approach, combining tradition and precision, for cuvées of timeless finesse and remarkable tension.
Tasting notes for Château Lafite Rothschild 1991
To the eye: Garnet robe with tiled reflections, of a silky density and a brilliance subtly veiled by the years.
On the nose: Aromas of cedar, candied blackcurrant, blonde tobacco and undergrowth, lifted by a saline touch and a hint of graphite.
On the palate: Velvety texture, melted yet still present tannins, lively acidity and chalky minerality, leading to a long and elegant finish marked by a persistent salinity.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
Vintage 1991
A vintage marked by early ripeness and contrasting climatic conditions, offering a wine of classical elegance, where finesse takes precedence over power.
- Ageing potential: Ready to drink today or to be kept until 2030 under optimal conditions (stable temperature, controlled hygrometry).
