Château Lafite Rothschild 2022 - Pauillac, 1er Grand Cru Classé
The 2022 Lafite Rothschild is a spectacular expression of Pauillac’s most iconic First Growth - an effortlessly regal wine that combines intensity with the estate’s signature grace and restraint. In a warm, concentrated vintage, Lafite has achieved remarkable purity and balance, resulting in one of the year’s most quietly powerful wines.
The aromas unfold with classic Lafite precision: cassis, graphite, violets, cedar, and subtle tobacco leaf. On the palate, the 2022 is finely etched and beautifully layered - silky tannins, refined acidity, and a long, resonant finish that glides rather than commands. Despite its depth and density, the wine remains cool, poised, and incredibly harmonious.
This is Lafite at its most timeless: nothing showy, nothing forced - just impeccable structure and an almost weightless elegance that will reward decades of patience.
