The wine in this vintage

2016 is one of the great Médoc vintages: after a rainy spring, a very dry summer and a balanced September brought Cabernet Sauvignon to perfect ripeness, with freshness and structure in rare harmony. Château Lafite Rothschild 2016 is a wine of absolute purity, with cassis, blackberry, violet, cedar, graphite and a touch of mint on a deep, silky and energetic palate with a very long finish. James Suckling and Decanter both awarded it 100 points. Still young, it is set to become one of the reference Lafites of its generation.

The producer · Château Lafite Rothschild

First among the Premiers Grands Crus Classés in the celebrated 1855 classification, Château Lafite Rothschild has been synonymous with great Bordeaux for centuries. As early as the eighteenth century, under the Marquis de Ségur, its wines were among the most coveted in Europe and graced the court of Versailles. In 1868 the estate was bought by Baron James de Rothschild and has since belonged to the French branch of the family: after the long stewardship of Baron Éric de Rothschild, it is now chaired by Saskia de Rothschild. The vineyard, over a hundred hectares in the north of Pauillac on the border with Saint-Estèphe, spreads across deep gravel croupes over limestone subsoil, ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Lafite seeks elegance rather than power: aromas of cedar, graphite and dark fruit, silky tannins, an airy texture and legendary longevity. Its cellars hold historic vintages, testimony to a continuity few estates in the world can claim.
