On the palate it is soft and charming, showing the classic Lafite signature in a gentler, more understated vintage style. Best enjoyed now, with little to no further aging expected to add value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Lafite Rothschild is located in Pauillac in Bordeaux’s Médoc region, on gravelly soils that are particularly well suited to Cabernet-driven wines.
