Lafite has been one of the iconic wines of France since Louis XV and Thomas Jefferson both sang its praises in the 1700s, and it remains one of the most collectible wines in the world today. That status means the winery can afford to reinvest in quality like few others, from intensive vineyard management all the way to the cellar.
Lafite has their own cooperage, a rare luxury that allows them to tailor each barrel to the specific vineyard block it will contain. Combine that with various sizes of wood, stainless steel, and concrete fermentation tanks, and you have a recipe for nearly unmatched precision in the vinification and aging of their wines.
This is the height of Bordeaux and one of the world’s greatest collector wines, showing Pauillac in full flush.
