Lafite Rothschild

This is probably the best soil of the Medoc. It produces wines of elegance and finesse absolutely unique in the natural world, with transcendent flavors of cedar, sandalwood and violet, combined with the tannins of a devilish complexity.

For decades, Lafite has played on this natural privilege for not too much effort and all fans know the weaknesses of the formation of many vintages of the 1960s and 1970s. But the thought has progressed significantly from the vintage years 1960 and 1970. But the thought has progressed significantly from the 1985 vintage, followed by a sublime and amazing 1986, 1988, 1989 and 1990. Since 1995, Charles Knight and his team presented the record straight, the price of a pitiless rigor in the selection: only a third of production is kept for great wine. The second wine, called Carruades, follows the path of his older brother under a draconian selection.
