A Pauillac of exceptional elegance and structure, the 2016 Lafite Rothschild reflects the harmony and precision that define this First Growth. Aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, and cedar rise with poise, accompanied by subtle notes of violet, tobacco, and crushed stone, creating a bouquet that is complex, layered, and inviting. Structured and refined, the palate reveals dark fruit, mineral undertones, and gentle spice, all framed by supple yet firm tannins. The finish is long, resonant, and balanced — a wine that unfolds gradually in the glass, rewarding patience and attention. This is Lafite in its quintessential form: sophisticated, contemplative, and timeless. Perfect for a celebratory dinner or for careful aging in the cellar, the 2016 exemplifies the finesse, power, and legacy of Pauillac’s finest terroir.
