Château Lafite Rothschild 2020 represents the elegance and longevity of Pauillac’s most iconic First Growth. Produced from gravel soils with a dominance of Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine reflects the precision and refinement that define Lafite.
The 2020 vintage in Bordeaux was the final in an exceptional trilogy (2018–2020), producing wines with concentration, freshness, and remarkable balance. At Lafite, this translates into aromas of cassis, blackberry, and violets, layered with graphite, cedar, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is structured and pure, with fine-grained tannins and a long mineral-driven finish.
Though still youthful, this wine shows all the hallmarks of a great Lafite: restraint, harmony, and extraordinary aging potential. It can be enjoyed in its youth after extended decanting but will reward patience in the cellar for decades, with a drinking window stretching from the late 2030s through 2070 and beyond. A collector’s wine of the highest order.
