Château Lafite Rothschild - G.C.C. | Pauillac
Red wine | France, PAUILLAC | 2018
Dark colour with a violet hue expressing a beautiful brilliance. The nose is still very discreet but reveals great depth. Then appear aromas of black fruit, red fruit and cedar, typical of Lafite wines. On the palate, the attack is impressive thanks to a remarkable blend that expresses all its harmony and power in a long and fresh finish. In such an atypical year, Lafite has shown all its potential while maintaining its balance and elegance. Tasting advice: decant for 2 hours or more.
