Château Lafite-Rothschild 1er cru classé, Pauillac

Château Lafite-Rothschild commands the highest global liquidity and market prestige among the First Growths. It remains the definitive blue-chip benchmark of Pauillac. Saskia de Rothschild oversees the estate, where deep gravel soils over limestone yield textbook cabernet sauvignon, rounded out with merlot. Bypassing modern trends of heavy extraction, the winemaking focuses strictly on symmetry. Expect a structured palate of graphite, cedarwood, cassis, and subtle violets, built for profound, centuries-long development.
