Château Lafite Rothschild, one of Bordeaux’s most revered First Growths, is renowned for its finesse, purity, and remarkable longevity. Across the centuries, Lafite has remained the benchmark for Pauillac elegance, crafting wines defined by aromatic lift, mineral precision, and finely sculpted tannins. The 2017 vintage is a graceful, classical expression of the estate’s timeless style.
Vineyard
Lafite’s vineyards are situated on Pauillac’s most prestigious deep gravel croupes, with limestone beneath—ideal soils for Cabernet Sauvignon. Old vines, meticulous viticulture, and rigorous parcel selection ensure only the most exceptional fruit forms the grand vin. The estate’s hallmark profile of graphite, cedar, and refined cassis is unmistakable.
Vintage
2017 was a challenging year across Bordeaux due to widespread spring frost, but Lafite’s privileged terroir was largely spared. A mild, even season followed, producing wines of freshness, precision, and elegance. Less powerful than 2015 or 2016, the 2017 is admired for its purity, aromatic clarity, and classical Left Bank structure.
Tasting Notes
The 2017 Château Lafite Rothschild opens with aromas of redcurrant, cassis, graphite, violets, cedar, and crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied, refined, and beautifully linear, offering pure red and black fruit wrapped in ultra-fine tannins. Fresh acidity and delicate floral and mineral notes drive a long, elegant finish. A wonderfully poised Lafite, drinking with charm now while promising graceful evolution.
