Lafite Rothschild 1er Grand Cru Classé Pauillac, 2020

Château Lafite Rothschild 2020 is one of Pauillac’s most coveted first-growth wines, prized for its precision, elegance, and extraordinary refinement. Crafted from a classic Bordeaux blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, it represents the timeless style that has made Lafite one of the most celebrated names in wine since the 19th-century 1855 Classification.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a deep, concentrated colour in youth, hinting at its power and structure. On the nose, expect layered aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite, violets, and subtle tobacco, with the polished oak seamlessly integrated. On the palate, it is classically Lafite: restrained yet intensely complex, with finely textured tannins, remarkable freshness, and a long, mineral-driven finish. The 2020 vintage has the structure and balance to age beautifully for decades, developing even greater nuance with time.

Production
Sourced from Lafite’s exceptional Pauillac terroir, where deep gravel soils over limestone and clay encourage Cabernet Sauvignon to thrive, the wine reflects the estate’s meticulous vineyard work and low-intervention philosophy. Grapes are harvested parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, then vinified with precision to preserve purity of fruit, finesse, and age-worthy structure.

Food & Serving
This wine is best served with refined dishes such as roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, truffle-based dishes, or game birds. Serve at around 16–18°C and decant for 1–2 hours if drinking young, though older bottles may benefit from gentler aeration depending on age and condition.

Producer
Château Lafite Rothschild is one of Bordeaux’s most historic and prestigious estates, with roots dating back to the 17th century and long-standing ownership by the Rothschild family since 1868. Located in the heart of Pauillac, it has earned a global reputation for producing some of the world’s most elegant and long-lived red wines, and it remains a benchmark for fine Bordeaux.
