Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2008 Pauillac AOC Premier Grand Cru Classé
A Premier Grand Cru Classé from the historic 1855 classification, Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the most prestigious wines in the world.
The 2008 vintage is known for its classical style, offering precision, freshness and exceptional aging potential.
It is a collector’s wine that represents the essence of Pauillac elegance and Bordeaux heritage.
The palate expresses the classicism of Pauillac with a solid and coherent structure. The tannins, more coated than in the solar vintages, offer great elegance. The finish, tasty and persistent, reveals a harmonious and irresistible wine.
Critic tasting note: (2008 vintage) Elegant, refined, pure, focused, vibrant, fresh and classic in its nature, it is easy to discern the cedar, tobacco leaf, lead pencil cassis and blackberry nuances, with just a little effort. On the palate, the wine offers refinement and purity, with a silky, yet energetic, bright edge. Give this 12-15 more years to develop. The wine was made from blending 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. - 97/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
