About
Château Lafite Rothschild 2022 is the epitome of First Growth Bordeaux elegance—precise, restrained, and profoundly age-worthy. The 2022 vintage reflects a remarkable year in Pauillac: dry and sunny, producing wines of concentration, ripeness, and freshness. This Grand Vin blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a touch of Petit Verdot, harvested from the estate’s most prized gravel and limestone parcels.
Tasting notes
A deep ruby hue with garnet highlights. The nose reveals blackcurrant, graphite, and cedar, alongside subtle floral notes and refined oak. On the palate, it is precise and layered, with polished tannins, a dense core of dark fruit, and a long, mineral-laced finish. The 2022 shows classic Lafite restraint with impressive concentration and freshness—a wine built for decades of graceful aging.
Pairing
Best enjoyed with roast lamb, dry-aged ribeye, wild game, or truffle dishes. Its structure and depth allow it to stand up to rich, savory flavors while maintaining poise and balance.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon wines shows a strong body, high acidity and high levels of tannins. A bouquet is very intensive, with black berries and spices. Very often these wines has great aging potential.
Pauillac
The home of three out of the five cult wine houses of the Grand Cru classification - Lafitte-Rothschild, Latour and Mouton-Rothschild. The soil is poor - big rocks in the gravel makes it difficult for the vine roots to get water but this allows them to gather lots of valuable minerals on the way. The taste of fresh fruit, wood and spicy tannins combined with a rich aroma of cigar boxes and dark berries are the qualities that make this appellation a true value. Winemakers use all the grapes allowed in the region - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
