Chateau Lafite Rothschild
From an auction catalogue note by Serena Sutcliffe M.W., Head of Sotheby’s International Wine Department: “Together with Ausone, Lafite’s wines age in the most ethereal way, spanning the centuries with ease. Lafite in the 1990s and into this century has benefited from the extraordinary wine-making brilliance of Charles Chevallier, who has added extra lustre to this fabulous terroir. When
serving Lafite, decant it well in advance of drinking as its bouquet amplifies to multi-faceted dimensions on contact with the air. The wines of the 1990s have great, sustained power under all the breed and scent.”
