Ikonet fra Pauillac
Château Lafite Rothschild er en af de mest prestigefyldte vine i verden og et ikon for Bordeaux. Slottet, der ligger i Pauillac på Médocs venstre bred, har årgang efter årgang demonstreret en enestående evne til at forene terroirets finesse med tidløs elegance.
Historie og ejerskab
Siden 1868 har Château Lafite Rothschild været ejet af Rothschild-familien, og gennem generationer har familiens medlemmer videreført en filosofi baseret på præcision, tradition og respekt for naturen. I dag er det Saskia de Rothschild, der fører arven videre og sikrer, at Lafite forbliver en af verdens mest eftertragtede vine.
Terroir og vinifikation
Ejendommens vinmarker strækker sig over nogle af de fineste grusplateauer i Pauillac, hvor de veldrænede jorde skaber optimale betingelser for især Cabernet Sauvignon, der dominerer vinen og giver den dens karakteristiske struktur og lagringspotentiale.
Druerne håndhøstes og sorteres minutiøst, og vinen lagres traditionelt på nye franske egetræsfade, hvilket bidrager til dens komplekse aromaer og silkebløde tanniner.
Château Lafite Rothschilds arv
Lafite er ikke blot en vin – det er et symbol på Pauillacs storhed og en af de mest eftertragtede vine blandt samlere og connaisseurs. Med sin dybe historie og uforanderlige kvalitet fortsætter Lafite Rothschild med at repræsentere det ypperste inden for Bordeaux-vin.

Upfront and instantly so welcoming and friendly and fun, bright, lively, full on acidity kicks off the expression – so lifted with the focus on the pure fruit. Salty undercurrent that gives such an incredible contrast to the ripe strawberry fruit. But this is also lacking no richness – it’s got muscles, power, concentration and such capacity to age. Fabulous. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Carruades de Lafite is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. It needs a little coaxing to bring out notes of fresh blackberries and cassis, opening out to hints of dark chocolate, licorice, and cardamom, with a touch of roses. The medium-bodied palate has a crisp backbone and wonderfully fine-grained tannins framing the intense black and blue fruit flavors, finishing long and minerally. The alcohol is 12.6%.
Licorice, black currants, flowers, blackberries, plums, cocoa and leafy tobacco nuances create the perfume. The palate is even better with its vivid display of fresh, juicy, crisp, red, with black fruits paired with a fine line of tannins down the middle giving you grace, character, and refined freshness. The elegant palate is fresh, lively, clean, and pure, so you taste, and feel the power, as well as the vitality of the vintage. One of the most important points in the growing season were that from early June, to July 10, climatically it was hot and dry. The mid-summer rains following those dates provided much needed nourishment, along with the rains that fell July 22 became a good part of the success of the vintage. The wine is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc. 12.5% ABV. Picking took place September 2 - September 20. Yields were low at 27 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2029-2050.
