Château Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac, 2011

Château Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac, 2011 Contenido: 750cc 1er Grand Cru Classé en 1855 Pauillac - Rouge Blend: Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot Wine Spectator - "This delivers pronounced tobacco and bay leaf notes up front, with a core of steeped plum and currant fruit and a fleshy edge through the charcoal-lined finish. There's some serious buried minerality, which should emerge with cellaring." Chateau Lafite Rothschild is perhaps the most famous wine label in the world. The estate achieved wide popularity in the 1750s when it became the favorite wine of King Louis XV. Thomas Jefferson was also a steadfast customer and even visited the estate. In 1868, Baron James de Rothschild became the owner of Lafite. He was a born dilettante, and it suited him to be the master of what, in 1855, was classified as first among the great wines of Médoc. Today, Baron Eric de Rothschild presides over this most famous Bordeaux estate.
