Lafite is, depending on your mood, either the most coveted red wine on earth or the most mythologised. What's undeniable is the wine itself: a First Growth Pauillac from the northern Médoc that has defined elegance in Bordeaux for three centuries. The 2024 vintage arrived after a season of warm, dry conditions that produced wines of genuine concentration and freshness in equal measure — and in magnum, you are buying not just the wine but a full extra decade of graceful development.
