This OWC6 set contains six bottles of Ch\u00e2teau Lafite Rothschild 2021 in an original wooden case. The estate is one of the most famous names in Pauillac and is known for its refined structure. The 2021 vintage showcases a classic side of Bordeaux.<\/p>\n
The history of Ch\u00e2teau Lafite Rothschild dates back centuries. In 1855, the ch\u00e2teau was classified as a Premier Grand Cru Class\u00e9, and in 1868, it was purchased by Baron James de Rothschild. The vineyards are situated on gravelly soils in Pauillac, where Cabernet Sauvignon plays a key role. The year 2021 brought spring frosts, periods of high humidity, and an unpredictable summer. As a result, meticulous work in the vineyard and careful selection during harvest were essential. Compared to warmer years such as 2020, the 2021 vintage may emphasize freshness and classic finesse. The wine has the structure to continue developing in the bottle. The original wooden case containing six bottles is a traditional presentation appreciated by many collectors. It also offers the opportunity to taste the same vintage at different times and to follow the evolution of its aromas.<\/p>\n
Expect blackcurrant, red and black berries, cedar, graphite, and subtle spices. The flavor is refined, with a fresh liveliness and tannins that give the wine structure. The finish is balanced and long.<\/p>\n
Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Let the wine breathe a bit if necessary. Pair with lamb, fine cuts of beef, or game.<\/p>\n
