Château Lafite Rothschild 2014 is a classic expression of this First Growth estate in Pauillac, combining refinement and structure in a vintage that favored Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from the gravelly soils that define Lafite, the blend is dominated by Cabernet with smaller amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.
The 2014 vintage in Bordeaux was marked by a cool summer followed by a warm, dry September, which brought excellent ripeness and balance to Left Bank wines. At Lafite, this produced a wine of clarity and precision, showing aromas of cassis, graphite, and violets alongside cedar and tobacco notes. The palate is fresh and elegant, with fine tannins and a long, mineral finish.
Still on the youthful side, Lafite 2014 benefits from decanting if enjoyed now, but it is best suited for cellaring. With its balance and structure, it carries a drinking window from the late 2020s through the 2050s. Imported directly from Bordeaux in 2025, this bottle comes with provenance guaranteed, making it a secure choice for collectors.
