Château Lafite Rothschild is one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated First Growths, renowned for its refinement, purity, and unmatched longevity. With centuries of history and a winemaking philosophy rooted in precision and restraint, Lafite consistently produces wines of quiet power and profound elegance. The 2010 vintage is widely considered one of the château’s greatest achievements of the modern era.
Vineyard
Lafite’s vineyards lie on Pauillac’s most prized deep gravel croupes, underpinned by limestone that enhances drainage and contributes to the estate’s unmistakable mineral drive. Old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon is at the heart of the grand vin, supported by small proportions of Merlot and other classic varieties. Strict parcel selection ensures only the most exceptional fruit forms this iconic wine.
Vintage
2010 is a legendary Bordeaux vintage — cool nights, warm days, and low yields created wines of stunning concentration, freshness, and structural precision. It is one of the most powerful and age-worthy vintages of the 21st century, often compared to the great 1959 and 1986. Lafite excelled, producing a wine of monumental depth and perfect balance.
Tasting Notes
The 2010 Château Lafite Rothschild shows a deep, inky garnet colour. Aromas unfold with extraordinary precision: cassis, graphite, violets, cedar, pencil shavings, tobacco leaf, and crushed stone. The palate is powerful yet supremely elegant — concentrated black fruit woven with fine, tightly knit tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is remarkably long, linear, and mineral-driven, carrying immense potential for decades of evolution. A wine of seamless structure and breathtaking purity.
