The Château Lafite Rothschild 2005, from the gravels of Pauillac, combines 89% Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Merlot. Nose of blackcurrant and spices, silky palate and mineral finish. Aged in oak barrels, it will continue to improve until 2040, ideal with game and cheeses.
Nestled in the heart of Pauillac, this legendary estate has embodied Bordeaux excellence since the 17th century, combining family heritage and viticultural precision.
- Terroir : Fine gravels and limestone subsoil of Pauillac, where the Cabernet Sauvignon draw their minerality and tension.
- Vinification : Ageing in French oak barrels, respect for individual parcels and meticulous blending for a timeless elegance.
Tasting notes for Château Lafite Rothschild 2005
To the eye – Deep red robe with garnet reflections, of a silky density and crystalline brilliance.
On the nose – Aromas of ripe blackcurrant, fresh cedar and violet, lifted by a hint of graphite and a subtle chalky salinity.
On the palate – A precise and taut attack, evolving towards a velvety texture where silky tannins, lively acidity and persistent minerality intertwine, leading to a remarkably long finish.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its complexity.
Vintage 2005
A sunny and balanced vintage, where the ripeness of the grapes is allied with a preserved freshness for a wine of rare harmony.
- Ageing potential : To be cellared for 20 to 30 years in a cool, humid cellar, away from vibrations.
