Château Lafite Rothschild, one of Bordeaux’s most iconic First Growth estates, is revered for its purity, finesse, and remarkable longevity. With centuries of viticultural heritage and an unwavering commitment to precision, Lafite consistently produces wines that stand among the world’s most elegant and age-worthy. The 2022 vintage is a powerful yet exquisitely balanced expression of this timeless Pauillac estate.
Vineyard
Lafite’s vineyards lie on Pauillac’s most prized deep gravel croupes, underpinned by limestone that enhances drainage and mineral definition. Old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the blend, contributing aromatic lift, structure, and Lafite’s signature graphite and cedar profile. Meticulous parcel selection ensures only the most exceptional fruit enters the grand vin.
Vintage
2022 was a hot, dry vintage across the Médoc, marked by small berries and concentrated fruit. Despite the heat, Lafite’s well-drained gravel soils and careful canopy management preserved freshness and balance. The result is a wine of impressive depth, refined power, and remarkable aromatic purity — a standout success in a challenging, sun-drenched year.
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Château Lafite Rothschild opens with pure, focused aromas of cassis, blackberry, graphite, violets, cedar, and crushed stone. The palate is medium-full bodied yet effortless, offering dense black fruit wrapped in ultra-fine, velvety tannins. Mineral tension, floral lift, and vibrant acidity shape a long, precise, and resonant finish. Profoundly elegant despite its intensity — a masterclass in balance.
