Pauillac - Château Lafite Rothschild 1984 Magnum
The estate
Among the first in the history of the classified growths of 1855 from Bordeaux, the Château Lafite Rothschild is a lord on its gravel lands. Bearing a long winemaking tradition initiated in 1620, it has established itself over the centuries as a true standard-bearer of the appellation Pauillac on the Left Bank of the Bordeaux region.
Because great wines are born only in great terroirs, Château Lafite Rothschild benefits from an exceptional location with a vineyard divided into three large areas. From the hills surrounding the Château to the plateau of Carruades to the west and a plot in the neighboring commune of Saint-Estèphe, Château Lafite Rothschild oversees a total of 112 hectares of vines planted on fine, deep gravel soils with sand on the surface, while the limestone subsoil allows for excellent drainage.

Tasting: the personality of Lafite is expressed in the 1984 vintage. The elegant bouquet of herbaceous and citrus fruits is top-notch. The new oak dominates the palate and the hard tannins present a certain dryness on the finish. The 1984 is a light but well-balanced wine. |
