While all the Bordeaux First Growth properties occupy a rarified position in the wine firmament, for many of us, there is something particularly special about Château Lafite. If you have never tried Lafite before, you might expect a powerful or exuberant wine. But it is neither. Lafite is deceptively light on its feet, often only medium-bodied, belying its Pauillac origins.
Lafite’s magic is to showcase a searing intensity and beauty within a humble frame. Lafite achieves a degree of filigree detail and cedary aromatic complexity virtually never found in Cabernet Sauvignon wines; its understatement made all the more impressive by its almost limitless ageing potential.
