Description

A bottle of 2012 Château Lafite Rothschild from Pauillac, Bordeaux in its original wooden box.

Château Lafite is ranked as a First Growth under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and commonly regarded as being the most elegant and refined of them all. It is a 100 hectare estate, with plantings of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet France and 2% Petit Verdot.

'It's in years like 2012 that the talent of a winemaker like Charles Chevalier is most evident.

After a slight dip in 2011, at least by its own high standards, this is a very elegant, even

restrained Lafite, with lots of colour, a leafy, graphite-like perfume, refreshing minerality,

subtle oak and very pure cassis fruit. It's fairly light, but there's concentration there too. A

classic wine that will appeal to lovers of refreshing, understated claret.

Drink: 2022-40. 95/100' Tim Atkin MW, 2013
