2018 Château Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 1er Cru Classé
Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the five First Growths of the 1855 Bordeaux classification and the most iconic name in Pauillac. The estate has been owned by the Rothschild family since 1868. The 2018 vintage on the Left Bank is widely considered exceptional, producing wines of great purity and depth.
