Château Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac, 1954

Seller description

Since 1975, the château, celebrated by wine lovers the world over, has been producing magnificent wines, thanks to the dynamic management of Eric de Rothschild. The great wine of Lafite is never the most demonstrative of Pauillac wines. But it is more its exceptional finesse which is expressed after 15 to 30 years of aging that makes it a wine apart, at the height of its rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé. Endowed with a fabulous aromatic complexity, it exhales in particular a characteristic cedar aroma which makes it so prized by amateurs. Lafite's great vintages seem capable of defying decades and never dying. -bottle purchased from a private collector
