Chateau Lafite Rothschild – Pauillac 1st Grand Cru 2010

RM6,798.00

The 2010 Lafite Rothschild, a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot, achieved relatively high alcohol of 13.32%, according to administrator Charles Chevalier. The wine is very impressive, not as fleshy, flamboyant and massive as the 2009, but nevertheless, a big, rich, full-throttle Lafite-Rothschild meant to age a half century or more.

Deep purple, with notes of white chocolate, mocha, cedar and charcoal as well as hints of vanillin and creme de cassis, the wine is full-bodied yet has that ethereal lightness that makes it a Lafite. Rich, with good acidity, precision and freshness, this is a slightly zestier version of the 2009 as well as more restrained and structured than that particular vintage. It will need at least 10-12 years of cellaring and keep for 50+ years.

These carefully selected grape varieties, combined with the unique terroir of the estate, contribute to the distinct character and exceptional quality of the wines produced.

The winemaking philosophy at Château Lafite Rothschild is centered around preserving the natural expression of the grapes and the terroir.

They are known for their elegance, finesse, and ability to age gracefully. The wines often exhibit aromas of cassis, blackberries, cedar, tobacco, and violets, with a structured palate and a long, persistent finish.
