Chateau Lafite Rothschild
Pauillac 2015 Magnum - 1.5 liter
Pauillac is located between Saint-Julien and Saint-Estèphe. Three out of the five 1st Crus come from here, namely Château Latour, Château Lafite and Château Mouton-Rothschild. Also, i.a. The 2nd Crus Pichon Longueville, Comtesse de Lalande and Pichon Baron as well as the 5th Crus Lynch Bages and Grand-Puy-Lacoste, can manage among the very best wines, come from here. It is the poor and gravelly soil that provides fertile ground for the elegant wines that are produced primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon. The soil forces the roots to search deep down, giving the finished wine a multitude of nuances with plenty of juice and power. The wines from the area are generally characterized by a deep and strong blackcurrant taste, lots of richness and elegance with a slightly smoky and animalistic touch.
Lafite was first mentioned in 1234 in connection with Abbot Gombaud de Lafite. There were probably already vineyards on the farm in the 1670s when Jaques de Ségur built the castle's reputation as a wine castle. Ségur's son married the heir to Château Latour and since then the history of the two castles has been closely linked. In 1868 the castle was bought by Baron James de Rothschild, whose brother owned Mouton Rothschild. James died soon after, but his three sons took over the management of the 74 ha. The first half of the 20th century was challenging with Phylloxera, depression and war. In 1945, Baron Elie took over with a program of restoration of the castle and fields, which his nephew Baron Eric re-evaluated at the same time as a general modernization when he subsequently took over. Today, 112 ha are covered. of well-drained and well-exposed vineyards. Since 1962, both Lafite and Durhart-Milon have been run by technical director Eric Kohler, together with winemaker Christophe Congé.
