The Château Lafite Rothschild 1972, Premier Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, comes from the gravelly soils of the Médoc. This wine, blended from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offers aromas of cedar and black fruits after 15 months in oak barrels. Perfect with a rib of beef or a roasted capon.
Nestled in the heart of Pauillac, this legendary estate has embodied Bordeaux excellence for centuries. Owned by the Barons de Rothschild, it combines historical heritage with a perpetual pursuit of precision.
- Terroir: Deep gravels and gravelly soils of Pauillac, imparting a chalky minerality and unmatched elegance to the wines.
- Vinification: Plot-by-plot and meticulous, with aging in French oak barrels for a silky structure and vibrant tension.
Tasting notes for Château Lafite Rothschild 1972
To the eye – A garnet red robe with tawny highlights, of velvety density, betraying its age with rare distinction.
On the nose – First notes of cedar and blonde tobacco, followed by candied black cherry, damp undergrowth and a saline touch reminiscent of Atlantic breezes.
On the palate – A silky texture, carried by a lively acidity and chalky minerality, stretching into a long and precise finish where gentle spices and ripe fruits intertwine.
Serve at 16°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
