Château Lafite Rothschild 2009

Château Lafite Rothschild 2009 is a richly structured Pauillac with a deep ruby hue and subtle purple reflections. The nose opens with ripe dark berries, tobacco, liquorice, and a touch of mint, layered with delicate oak nuances.

On the palate, it is juicy and expressive, showing ripe cherry fruit, mineral tension, and impressive length. With a higher proportion of Merlot than usual, this vintage is notably more approachable while retaining the elegance and complexity expected of Lafite, an excellent choice for both collectors and near-term enjoyment.
