Château Lafite Rothschild 2015 is a distinguished Premier Grand Cru Classé estate located in Pauillac, Bordeaux, owned by the Rothschild family since 1868. This vintage typically includes a dominant proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot and Petit Verdot, all cultivated in deep gravel soils. The winemaking process features careful hand-harvesting and sorting, followed by fermentation in a variety of vessels, including wooden and stainless steel. The wine matures for 18-20 months in new French oak barrels, contributing to its complex aromatics of blackcurrant, herbal notes,and subtle cedar. The structure allows for significant ageing potential, showcasing the estate`s commitment to quality and tradition.
