Wine Description The 2021 vintage of Château Lafite Rothschild is a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot. In the glass, it presents a deep garnet-purple hue. The nose is expressive, offering aromas of ripe blackcurrants, fresh blackberries, and black raspberries, complemented by hints of cedar, graphite, cloves, and a subtle floral note reminiscent of roses. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a velvety attack that transitions into an elegantly dense and structured mid-palate. The tannins are sweet yet abundant, framing the wine beautifully and leading to a long, penetrating finish. This vintage showcases Lafite's signature finesse and balance, with a harmonious integration of fruit, acidity, and tannin.
