Château Lafite Rothschild 2009 is a remarkable offering from this esteemed Premier Grand Cru Classé estate in Pauillac, Bordeaux, which has been under the ownership of the Rothschild family since 1868. The wine is primarily a Cabernet Sauvignon blend, supported by Merlot and Cabernet Franc, cultivated in the estate`s distinct gravelly soils. The winemaking process includes hand-harvesting, careful sorting and fermentation in a variety of vessels, followed by 18-20 months of maturation in new French oak barrels. This vintage presents aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and subtle graphite notes.
