The quality of Chateau Lafite Rothchild needs no introduction. As early as 1815, Abraham Lawton had already designated it as leader: “I ranked it as being the most elegant and delicate, with the finest body of the three (leading wines)” he qualified in 1855. As to Chateau Lafite’s attributes found in all vintages, it was an enlightened that summed it up best by saying “…whatever the cause, all the Chateau Lafite wines have an almond and violet aroma!”
Vintage 2000
The weather was as fine as one could wish for: early blossoming, a combination of above average temperatures and normal rainfall, followed by harvesting under a cheery sun. The result is an exceptional 2000 vintage, with deep colour. It has an intense bouquet recalling blackberries and liquorice, a supple and corpulent palate, with tight tannins and long finish.
