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%
註:例外的ヴィンテージもあります。例)1994年は99%カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨン、1%プティ・ヴェルド。1961年は100%カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨン。

Written Notes

The first was a 1959 Lafite Rothschild.  It was deep and dark with rich purple fruit and classic pencil, cassis and carob.  This was a rock star bottle of Lafite and the greatest of all-time along with the 1953.  Everyone was in the ‘older is better’ zone, one I agree with more with every passing day lol (99).   

  • 99p

Full medium red with an amber edge. Ineffable aromas of red plum, raw currant, cedar and menthol. Offers an extraordinary combination of silky texture and brilliant acidity and snap. A wine of great extract and penetrating sweetness. Finishes with big, noble tannins and great persistence. A fabulous vintage for Lafite that rarely disappoints. Drink now through 2025.

Tasted in Hong Kong. Very fresh bottle, rich and thick, very deep, lots of aromas like cedar. Superb

  • 99p
The most consistently good of all Lafites. I have never had a poor bottle. Still youthful with great fruit, a touch of eualyptus and a great balance. Will live forever. Needs to be decanted about an hour before drinking.
  • 98p
Château Lafitte-Rothschild 1959: a great wine, with a sensual texture, minute-long length with mineral, salty aspects. Elegant yet powerfol aromas on the nose, remembering of old wood (like in old mahogany furniture). Again perfect balance.
