Produkt
Château Lafite Rothschild ist ein Grand Cru Classé aus Pauillac und wird oft als einer der größten Weine der Appellation angesehen. Er entsteht auf einem legendären Terroir, das ihm Finesse, Komplexität und ein charakteristisches aromatisches Profil verleiht. Die Cuvée besteht überwiegend aus Cabernet Sauvignon (80 % bis 90 %), ergänzt durch Merlot sowie gelegentlich Cabernet Franc und Petit Verdot. Vor dem Ausbau erfolgen parzellenweise Vinifikationen, gefolgt von einer Reifung von 18 bis 20 Monaten in neuen Barriques. Der Betrieb verfügt zudem über eine eigene Küferei.

Ratings
Wineadvocate
A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2024 Lafite Rothschild offers up aromas of minty blackcurrants, violets, incense, loamy soil and cigar box, followed by a medium-bodied, pillowy and open-knit palate built around tangy acids and powdery tannins, concluding with a discreetly herbal finish. Harvest began on September 24 and concluded on October 4, delivering a Lafite in something of a throwback style, nodding to the wines made here in the 1970s.Vinous
According to Technical Director Eric Kohler, the 2024 Lafite-Rothschild was picked from September 23 to October 7 and underwent a short vinification—less than three weeks—plus a gentle extraction. The blend includes 16% vin de presse. It has an understated and typical Lafite nose with crushed stone infusing the black fruit, black olive tapenade and marine scents. It comes across as statesmanlike, which is just how you want your First Growth, even in a tricky vintage like this. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh saline notes on the entry. Tensile from the start, this has very impressive focus and is a tad more peppery than previous vintages. This is an assured Lafite-Rothschild with a very seaweed/Japanese wakame-tinged finish. Very promising and one of the very few "cerebral" Left Bank wines in 2024. 2032 - 2058
