The Story

„Lafite hat eine Seele. Eine schöne, großzügige, freundliche Seele. Lafite verwandelt bloße Erde in einen Traum. Lafite ist Harmonie, die Harmonie zwischen Mensch und Natur. Ohne die Winzer auf Lafite gäbe es auch keinen Wein. Aber ohne den himmlischen Odem dieses einzigartigen Fleckens Erde könnten sie niemals etwas derart Herausragendes erschaffen.“

Baron Eric de Rothschild

Die Qualität des Château Lafite Rothschild bedarf keiner näher...

Written Notes

The 1958 vintage resulted in a small, light but quite pleasant style which today shows an almost "Burgundian" character. The colour is light brick red with amber hints. The nose is very refined with hints of cherry stone, dried fruits, mild spices and balsamic tones yet displaying an Exquisite freshness. On the palate elegant and refined with discreet "sweetness" and subtle acidity, discreet minerality and fine fruit resulting in a mild taste with almost "Burgundian" character. A charming bottle evolving well in the glass. A true Lafite.
