A delicate, harmonious red-fruit nose leads onto a silky, feminine palate and a beautifully balanced finish. This offers a tempting glimpse at the wonders of Ch. Lafite. There is a vigour to this wine, it is well proportioned, fresh, energetic and cooling, ripe and opulent in 2015. Soft, succulent, moreish and brimming with dark damson fruit, this is wonderfully quaffable.

A highly-coveted First Growth from Pauillac, the estate boasts a fascinating history that can be traced back as far as 1234.
