About This Wine
Château Lafite Rothschild 2019 is the Pauillac First Growth from a warm, even season, and the blend leans more heavily on Cabernet Sauvignon than many recent Lafites. At 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is built to age for decades.
The 2019 blend is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, picked from 19 September to 7 October.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Cassis and black cherry at first, then pencil shavings, cedar and a little tobacco leaf, with violets appearing as the wine breathes.
- Palate: Medium to full-bodied and polished.
- Finish: Long and perfumed, with cassis and cedar lingering well after the tannin settles.
Serving & Food
Still young. Roast rack of lamb, a plain grilled rib-eye or braised beef cheek all work well.
