Château Lafite Rothschild, one of Bordeaux’s most esteemed First Growth estates, is revered for its finesse, aromatic purity, and age-worthy structure. Across centuries, Lafite has consistently crafted wines of quiet power and remarkable longevity. The 1993 vintage reflects the château’s ability to produce elegance and refinement even in a challenging year.
Vineyard
Situated on Pauillac’s most prized gravel rises, the Lafite vineyard benefits from deep gravel, limestone subsoils, and old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon — the backbone of its grand vin. Precision viticulture and strict fruit selection ensure that only the finest parcels contribute to the final blend.
Vintage
1993 was a cooler, more classical Left Bank vintage, marked by early autumn rains that challenged ripening. However, top estates like Lafite, with meticulous vineyard management and rigorous sorting, produced wines of clarity, fresh acidity, and understated charm. The 1993 Lafite has evolved gracefully over decades, showcasing mature complexity and elegance.
Tasting Notes
The 1993 Château Lafite Rothschild reveals a garnet colour with a soft, mature rim. Aromas of redcurrant, cedar, graphite, dried rose, tobacco leaf, and forest floor unfold with air. The palate is medium-bodied and finely textured, offering subtle red fruit, savoury earth, and classic Pauillac minerality. Silky tannins and fresh acidity carry a long, refined finish. Delicate, aromatic, and beautifully resolved.
