The 2020 Château Lafite Rothschild is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, aged in 100% new oak. On the nose, blackberries, hints of blueberries and juniper are accompanied by nuances of graphite and crushed stones. The palate, despite its light-bodied nature [only 12.8% ABV], is meticulously structured, revealing a multitude of black fruit, mineral, and fragrant earth layers, supported by a sturdy foundation of grainy tannins that lead to a long and earthy finish. The wine is presented here in a eye-catching magnum bottle.
