Description
Château Lafite Rothschild est un grand cru classé de Pauillac souvent considéré comme le plus grand vin de l'appellation. Il voit le jour sur un terroir mythique qui lui confère raffinement, complexité et un profil aromatique singulier. Son assemblage se compose principalement de cabernet sauvignon (80% à 90%), complété par du merlot et quelquefois de cabernet franc et de petit verdot. Des vinifications parcellaires précèdent un élevage de 18 à 20 mois en barriques neuves; pour la petite histoire, le domaine dispose de sa propre tonnellerie!

Notes de dégustation
Wineadvocate
A candidate for the -wine of the vintage,- the 2008 should have been purchased before it began to soar in value because of the significance of the number 8 in the Chinese culture (denoting good luck). Representing 40% of the production, this blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc offers aromas of high quality unsmoked cigar tobacco, lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, earth, cedar and asphalt. Full, rich and stunningly concentrated, I doubt it is inferior to the 2010, just more classic as well as slightly more forward and a degree weaker in alcoholic potency (12.5% versus 13.5%). The 2008 should be relatively drinkable in 6-10 years as it is already showing remarkable complexity and breed, and will last for 30-35 years...at the minimum.Vinous
The 2008 Lafite Rothschild put in a strange showing at the previous horizontal just a few weeks earlier. This bottle is much better. It has a deep color with little ageing on the rim. On the nose there is ample fruit, blackberry and bilberry with notes of pencil lead and sage, but overall there is just more intensity than the previous bottle. The palate is well balanced with fine grain tannin and good density, a facet occasionally lacking in Lafite-Rothschild. There is just a touch of brown sugar and sage towards the finish that fortunately does not attenuate like the previous bottle. This is much more representative and whilst not the best First Growth of the vintage, it certainly shows more sophistication and class even if it does not match its more stellar showings just after bottling. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 10-Year On tasting. - NM 03/2018
