Nestled within the sun-drenched Pauillac of Bordeaux, Château Lafite Rothschild reigns supreme, etching its legend in every sip.

Emerging from a season marked by the worst frosts in decades, this wine transcends hardship to deliver a timeless tapestry of beauty and grace.

1991 painted a contrasting landscape in the Médoc. While early spring frosts ravaged vines, subsequent months unfolded with alternating sun and rain, nurturing the resilient grapes back to health. The Lafite team, with unwavering dedication, meticulously coaxed the highest potential from each remaining cluster.
Crafted for Generations:
Within the Château's hallowed walls, each precious grape embarked on a transformative journey. Aged for 18 to 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels under the watchful eye of winemaker Charles Chevalier, the 1991 Lafite Rothschild unfurled its secrets, evolving into a masterpiece of balance and harmony.
A Symphony for the Senses:
In the glass, a fine, vibrant hue whispers of the wine's elegance. On the palate, it unfolds with a surprising depth and consistency. Smooth, light tannins, matured to perfection, guide you through a well-developed structure. Each sip is a harmonious dance of ripe fruit, earthy notes, and hints of exotic spice, culminating in a lingering, satisfying finish.
