The Lafite Rothschild 2015, a prestigious Bordeaux First Growth from the estate of Lafite Rothschild in Pauillac. This sought-after cuvée illustrates the legacy of the Rothschild family who have owned the property since 1868. This vintage is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small percentage of Merlot, reflecting the estate`s deep gravelly soils. The winemaking process entails careful hand-harvesting and sorting, followed by fermentation in a combination of wooden, stainless steel and concrete vats. It matures for 18-20 months in new French oak barrels, showcasing complex notes of blackcurrant, cedar and a distinctive tannic structure. Ideal for extended cellaring.
