Le vin

Un millésime exceptionnel, réalisé avec maîtrise, toute la personnalité aristocratique d'un château retranscrit dans un vin. Ce vin est parfait.

Le nez nous dévoile des arômes de cèdre, d’amande et de violette, avec des notes minérales. Un nez intense et envoutant. La bouche est dynamique avec des tannins d’une superbe élégance. Lors de la dégustation de ce vin, chaque gorgée est unique et une sensation de plaisir nous envahit.

100 / 100 ( Wine Advocate )

Tasted three times since bottling, the 1996 Lafite-Rothschild is unquestionably this renowned estate's greatest wine. As I indicated last year, only 38% of the crop was deemed grand enough to be put into the final blend, which is atypically high in Cabernet Sauvignon (83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot). This massive wine may be the biggest, largest-scaled Lafite I have ever tasted. It will require many years to come around, so I suspect all of us past the age of fifty might want to give serious consideration as to whether we should be laying away multiple cases of this wine. It is also the first Lafite-Rothschild to be put into a new engraved bottle (designed to prevent fraudulent imitations). The wine exhibits a thick-looking, ruby/purple color, and a knock-out nose of lead pencil, minerals, flowers, and black currant scents. Extremely powerful and full-bodied, with remarkable complexity for such a young wine, this huge Lafite is oozing with extract and richness, yet has managed to preserve its quintessentially elegant personality. This wine is even richer than it was prior to bottling. It should unquestionably last for 40-50 years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050. The wine of the vintage?
