"It is at this level, in these type of years, where you see why these terroirs have stood out for centuries."
De geschiedenis van Château Lafite Rothschild gaat terug tot de 14e eeuw. In 1675 werd het wijngoed eigendom van de familie Lafite. In de 18e eeuw werd Lafite Rothschild een van de leidende wijnhuizen in Bordeaux. In 1855 werd het wijngoed bekroond met de hoogste classificatie, Premier Cru Classé.
De wijnen van Château Lafite Rothschild worden gemaakt van een blend van druivensoorten. Cabernet Sauvignon is de belangrijkste druif, met een aandeel van 89%. En nog 11% Merlot.
De wijnen van Lafite Rothschild staan hoog aangeschreven om hun elegantie, finesse en vermogen om gracieus oud te worden. De wijnen van Château Lafite Rothschild worden gekenmerkt door hun elegante en verfijnde stijl. Ze hebben een intense kleur, een complex bouquet met tonen van rood fruit, bloemen en specerijen, en een lange, zachte afdronk.
Jane Anson en Robert Parker's Wine Advocate belonen deze vintage met 100 van de 100 punten! "Full-bodied, rich and densely packed with perfumed black fruit layers, it has a rock-solid backbone of fantastically ripe, grainy tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing very long and minerally."

Inky colour, more so than in many years of Lafite, imprinted by the vintage. It is at this level, in these type of years, where you see why these terroirs have stood out for centuries. We are in a crowded field of excellence in Pauillac in 2010, and yet still the First Growths manage to deliver an extra heartbeat of brilliance. This is still extremely closed, and I have no hesitation in saying that when Lafite is planning its 250th anniversary celebrations that this will be one of the wines that it chooses, just as we all marvelled at the 1893 in the summer of 2018. Blocks of liquorice and black chocolate come through alongside the tannins, standing guard to ensure the fruits don't escape before they are ready to do so. There are vintages where Lafite is sculpted, liquid elegance (like 2017, speaking of one I have recently tasted), and where it stands out against the vintage, and then there are other years when it epitomises why the vintage is so good, and that is where we are here. It has less obvious muscles than the Latour but every bit of the strength.

This is shy and not giving its all at the moment. Yet it is full and intense with a tightly intertwined tannic and fruit structure. Ethereal blackberry, currant, cedar, and nutty flavors. Dried flowers too. Cedar jewel box smell comes out with time. Great finish. So, so long and harmonious.

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Lafite Rothschild is a little mute on the nose at this stage, opening to reveal warm blackcurrants, baked plums and boysenberry scents with hints of chocolate mint, violets, cedar chest and pencil lead. Full-bodied, rich and densely packed with perfumed black fruit layers, it has a rock-solid backbone of fantastically ripe, grainy tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing very long and minerally. Still very youthful!
