Château Lafite Rothschild stands at the pinnacle of Bordeaux’s First Growths — renowned for centuries for its purity, finesse, and extraordinary longevity. In modern times, few vintages have captured the world’s attention quite like 2009, a year in which Lafite produced one of its most monumental and seductive wines.
Vineyard
Situated on Pauillac’s most esteemed gravel croupes, Lafite’s vineyards benefit from deep gravel beds and limestone subsoils that ensure exceptional drainage and impart the château’s hallmark graphite, cedar, and mineral precision. Old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon forms the core of the grand vin, supported by carefully selected Merlot and minor varieties. Only the finest parcels are chosen for this iconic wine.
Vintage
2009 is widely considered one of the greatest Bordeaux vintages of the 21st century. A warm, dry season with perfectly timed late-season conditions delivered fruit of magnificent concentration and tannin maturity. The resulting wines are powerful yet velvety — opulent in style without sacrificing freshness. For Lafite, 2009 stands as a benchmark vintage of immense depth and longevity.
Tasting Notes
The 2009 Château Lafite Rothschild is deep, dark garnet with extraordinary aromatic depth. The bouquet unfolds with cassis, black cherry, graphite, violets, cedar, pencil lead, and warm spices, layered over hints of tobacco and dark cocoa. The palate is rich, velvety, and impeccably structured — plush black fruit wrapped in ultra-fine tannins. Opulent yet precise, with a mineral spine and a finish that is incredibly long, pure, and resonant. A profound wine of both power and elegance.
