The Story

У Лафита есть душа, прекрасная, нежная и щедрая. Лафит превращает обыденность в мечту. Лафит — это гармония, гармония природы и человека, ибо без наших виноградарей не было бы Лафита». 
Барон Эрик де Ротшильд

Еще в 1815 году куртье Гийом Лоутон дал этому вину прекрасную характеристику: «Я бы назвал его самым элегантным, самым изысканным и самым деликатным со всех трех (лучших вин). Виноградники Лафит Ротшильд занимают самые лучшие площади ...

Written Notes

Château Lafite Rothschild 2020 Barrel Sample (Pauillac); 97–99 points. This is a complete wine, with its layers of fruit and tannin in total harmony.

2020  Château Lafite Rothschild Pauillac The compelling nose, with its showy notes of lead pencil, tobacco leaf, cedar, cigar box, currants, spice and wet forest leaf comes through easily. The palate is pure silk in texture. Seamlessly moving from the beginning, middle and end, the wine is fresh, bright, long and intense. The purity in the fruit, paired with its energy and lift linger for more than 50 seconds. Refined, elegant, complex and compelling, if you have the patience to wait for 15-20 years before opining a bottle, this is going to be one of the great vintages for Lafite Rothschild.  The wine is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot 12.8% ABV. The harvest took place September 14 - October 4. With yields of 37 hectoliters per hectare, the Grand Vin represents 45% of the harvest. 97-99  Pts
