Tasting Notes

Opens with elegant aromas of cassis, black cherry, cedar, graphite, violets, and a touch of tobacco leaf. The palate is refined and linear, showing pure dark fruit, silky tannins, and a precise mineral backbone that carries the wine into a long, graceful finish. This is a cool-vintage Lafite with superb balance, understated, aristocratic, and beautifully detailed.

Pairings

Pairs beautifully with refined, savory dishes that match its elegance. Roasted lamb rack, duck breast, Wagyu striploin, or herb-crusted veal. Earthy dishes such as truffle risotto, roasted mushrooms, and caramelized root vegetables complement its mineral-driven style, while aged Comté or Gruyère offers a classic pairing that highlights the wine’s finesse and silky texture.
