One of the greatest wines produced in Bordeaux this year is the 2019 Lafite Rothschild, an impeccably balanced classic of immense charm and grace. Wafting from the glass with arresting aromas of cassis, blackberries and cherries mingled with violets, cigar box and warm spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, its velvety attack segueing into a layered, concentrated mid-palate framed by exquisitely powdery tannins and ripe acids, and concluding with a long, perfumed finish. This rivals the 2010 and 2016 as the greatest Lafite of the decade, and of those three vintages, it's clearly the most sensual and demonstrative out of the gates. The blend contains fully 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and attained a modest 13.4% alcohol.

So much sweet tobacco, Spanish cedar, dried flowers, dark mushrooms and roses. Really aromatic. This is so polished and very powerful, yet ethereal and refined at the same time. The finish goes on for minutes. Tight and harmonious. You want to drink it! So balanced, yet it will age beautifully. It will be this good forever. 94% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Better after 2031.

The 2019 Lafite-Rothschild screams Cabernet Sauvignon on the nose of intense black fruit, graphite and subtle minty aromas, supremely well-defined and revealing a hint of star anise with aeration. The medium-bodied palate is beautifully balanced, offering sappy black fruit, black pepper, graphite and just a touch of spice. This has more body, maybe even a touch more sinew than recent vintages, perhaps because of the reconfiguration of the Merlot parcels (see my note en primeur). Very persistent and almost uncharacteristically grippy on the finish, this is a gifted Lafite-Rothschild that will last 50+ years. It will certainly surpass the 2018 with continued bottle age.

A very energetic wine, with wild loganberry, mulberry and black currant fruit flavors that bristle with mouthwatering bay leaf, licorice root and savory notes. The finish is tight now, with charcoal shadings and a smoldering cast iron note, but there's additional black tea, incense and floral hints for contrast. Dense and driven, with more than enough elements to match its energy, meaning this can cruise in the cellar for a long time. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2045. — JM

Château Lafite Rothschild
Traditionnel, élégant et légendaire. Voilà décrit en quelques mots, le château bordelais à la réputation mondiale la plus affirmée, le Château Lafite Rothschild. Appartenant aux Domaines Barons de Rothschild depuis le 18ème siècle, cette propriété classée Premier Grand Cru peut à juste titre se targuer d’être le « leader des vins fins » car il élabore des cuvées de haute volée depuis des décennies. Ses vignobles, d’une superficie de plus de 100 hectares, en font l’un des producteurs de Pauillac les plus importants : 75% de cabernet-sauvignon, 20% de merlot, 4% de cabernet franc et un petit 1% de petit verdot y ont élu domicile. Les deux-tiers des vignes forment une seule parcelle encerclant le château, l’autre tiers étant imbriqué dans celles de Duhart-Milon. Dans l’illustre chai médocain, un grand vin parfumé à l’âme expressive voit le jour, le Château Lafite Rothschild traduisant à merveille la symbiose entre l’homme et la nature. Empreint du même esprit de distinction, Les Carruades de Lafite Rothschild a davantage recours au merlot, donnant naissance à un vin exceptionnel qui en impose bien plus que la plupart des seconds vins. Les deux cuvées se bonifient avec 15 à 20 ans de garde ; en résulte alors un mariage parfait entre la puissance des tanins et les arômes de cèdre et de cassis.
