Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2009 It is a Wine From the PDO Pauillac Made With Cabernet Sauvignon And Merlot Grapes By Chateau Lafite-Rothschild Wineries.
Chateau Lafite Rothschild It occupies the most beautiful hills of Pauillac, of which the poet Ausonius already spoke in 325 in his Epistles to Théon. In the first half of the seventeenth century, it was bought by the Bordeaux parliamentarian Saubat de Pommiers and later came into the hands of the Ségur family, lords of Lafite. Nicolas-Alexandre Ségur, who is known as the Prince of the Vineyards, became the owner of Lafite, Latour, Mouton and Calon.
When Richelieu was appointed Governor of Guyenne, ancient Aquitaine in 1755, he consulted a doctor in Bordeaux who prescribed Château Lafite wine as the best and most pleasant tonic. When he returns to Paris, Louis XV tells him that he seems to be 25 years younger and Richelieu replies that he has found in Lafite's wine something comparable to the ambrosia of the Olympian gods. He gives some bottles to the king who, enthusiastic about them, makes it his favorite wine and soon that of the whole court.

The gravel lands, with a good exposure and great drainage, of the 100 hectares of vineyard, presided over by a beautiful 17th-century manor house, are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, 70%, Merlot, 25%, Cabernet Franc, 3%, and Petit Verdot, 2%.Each plot, of the same variety, planting year, and soil type, is vinified separately. Fermentation takes place in oak vats, the oldest of which is 40 years old, and in modern stainless steel tanks, which were built about 10 years ago. Maceration lasts about three weeks. Subsequently, the wine goes through the aging phase, which lasts between 18 and 20 months and is carried out in completely new French oak barrels for the first wine and in one-year-old barrels for Les Carruades. In 1990, they created their own cooperage in the cellar.They have two aging cellars, with the one designed in 1988 by architect Ricardo Bofill standing out for its beauty. It is an octagon, shaped like a crypt supported by columns and illuminated by a central skylight that emerges among the vineyards.
Intense and deep purple color. Nose of great consistency marked by aromas of red and black fruits, shrubby and spicy notes. Great body and intensity on the palate. Complex finish. (Tasting notes at the time of bottling)
