Chateau Lafite 2006 Chateau Lafite 2006 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Lot 20: Packed in 3 magnum owc, owc lid replaced with wood, tissue wrapped 40% of the crop went into the 'grand vin' and this has led to a 'bewitching' nose that is totally Premier Cru. The quality of the tannins is remarkable and the wine is so fruity, dominated by cherries when young. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 21 1 d.mag - 3 litre (owc) per lot: GBP 1300-1600 per lot: USD 2000-2600 per lot: EUR 1500-1900 Throughout the centuries, Lafite has proved that this is a wine that ages in the most ethereal way. Lafite combines elegance, breed and scent with sustained power, a miracle of balance and nobility. The extraordinary terroir and position in Pauillac have always been matched by the Rothschilds' sense of quality and vision, resulting in a wine that has mythical status. Continuity is vital in producing a great wine and the wine-making brilliance of Charles Chevallier from the 1990s to the present day has added extra lustre to this exceptional liquid, with the fame of the property spreading further throughout the world. When serving Lafite, decant it well in advance of drinking as its bouquet and taste amplify to multi-faceted dimensions on contact with the air. At the Chateau itself, they double decant, back into the original bottle with its unchanging, instantly recognisable label. Lafite matures slowly, developing gloriously with bottle age, as historic tastings have shown. Collect Lafite for yourself and watch it grow!
