Château Lafite Rothschild stands among the most revered First Growth estates of Bordeaux, celebrated for its refinement, aromatic purity, and exceptional longevity. Its wines consistently embody elegance over power, with an unmistakable signature of graphite, cedar, and seamless structure. The 1995 vintage marks one of Lafite’s great modern-era releases.
Vineyard
Positioned on Pauillac’s most prized gravel croupes, Lafite’s vineyards benefit from deep gravel layers, limestone subsoils, and old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon. These perfectly drained soils contribute to the château’s hallmark style: lifted aromatics, mineral precision, and delicately structured tannins. Rigorous vineyard selection ensures only the finest parcels contribute to the grand vin.
Vintage
1995 was a superb Left Bank vintage — warm, dry, and exceptionally consistent. Cabernet Sauvignon achieved full phenolic ripeness, producing wines with firm tannins, dense fruit, and long-term ageing potential. Many critics regard 1995 as the first truly outstanding vintage after the legendary 1980s trio (1988–1990), and Lafite excelled.
Tasting Notes
The 1995 Château Lafite Rothschild displays deep garnet colour with youthful brightness. Aromas unfold in layers: blackcurrant, graphite, violets, cedar, cigar box, and warm earth. The palate is classic Lafite — pure, precise, and aristocratic — with concentrated cassis, fine-grained tannins, and superb linearity. The finish is long, elegant, and mineral-driven, showing remarkable freshness even at nearly 30 years of age.
