The Story

ラフィットには魂が宿っています。優美で寛大で、柔和な魂です。ラフィットは大地を夢へと変化させます。ラフィットはハーモニー、自然と人とのハーモニー。つまり、優秀なヴィニュロン無くしては、何も生まれてきません」
エリック・ド・ロートシルト男爵

1815年、ギヨーム・ロートンは、早々と、シャトー・ラフィット・ロートシルトに次のような賛辞を残しています。「3軒(のプルミエ・クリュ)の中でも、極上のエレガンスと繊細さ、そして精気を備えたワインである。メドックでも最も優美な場所に位置するブドウ畑に数えられる。」1855年、万国博覧会を機会に制定された、かの有名な格付け。シャトー・ラフィット・ロートシルトは、格付け第一級の認定を得ています。

ブドウ品種 :

カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨン 80〜95%、メルロ 5〜20%、カベルネ・フランおよびプティ・ヴェルド 0〜5%

Dark copper colour. Expressive nose with fine aroma reminiscent of discreet spices. Discreet balmy hints. Elegant palate with very good length.

Bright, light brownish colour. Complex and seductive toasty, coconut nose with some Macademian nuts. Medium-bodied palate is round and with with good concentration. Bit rustic finish with cherry notes. A decadent wine. – JL 92p. (Aug 2023)

The 1920 Lafite-Rothschild comes from a great but forgotten vintage. Fully mature on the nose, it is quite exquisite with bewitching scents of leather, sandalwood, pot-pourri and just a hint of dark chocolate. I adore the manner in which this gathers momentum in the glass and yet remains warm and mellow. The palate is fresh and finely balanced, elegant and refined in its dotage. Harmonious in the mouth, you can still feel the weight, the presence of what must have been a dense and perhaps very structured wine in its youth. It improves in the glass with suggestions of orange rind and even marmalade towards the finish. On the aftertaste is just a hint of Lapsong Souchang, completing a sophisticated and divine Lafite-Rothschild. Tasted at the Lafite-Rothschild 150th anniversary dinner at the property.
