The 1996 Château Lafite Rothschild is comprised of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. It was a complicated vintage from which only 38% of the crop was deemed of sufficient quality for use in the final blend but the result is spectacular. It is an extremely powerful and imposingly tannic Lafite that is only just beginning to emerge into its prime drinking phase but, with significant decanting, unfurls to reveal crisply defined and complex fruits, with delicious savoury nuances. Undoubtedly a long-haul proposition, this has at least another two decades of potential longevity and will surely only get better.

Chateau Lafite Rothschild

Chateau Lafite Rothschild

A highly-coveted First Growth from Pauillac, the estate boasts a fascinating history that can be traced back as far as 1234. Spanning 110 hectares, Château Lafite Rothschild produces a legendary first wine, Lafite Rothschild, showcasing beautiful aromatics and an extraordinary capacity to age; a superb second wine, Carruades de Lafite, and Légende de Pauillac.

Located at the northerly boundary of Pauillac, adjacent to Saint-Estèphe, the Château vineyards are broadly split into two parcels - one which supplies the bulk of the grapes for the Grand Vin and a second parcel that is used to produce Carruades de Lafite. Vineyard plantings are around 70% Cabernet Sauvignon 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
