What to Expect

Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, and allow winemakers in each commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate. The most famous communes each have their own classic traits with St. Estephe giving full, if rustic wines, from the heavy clay soils, to Paulliac's elegant balance of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich blackberry core and supple feel. Moving to the South of the region brings one to Margaux, with its notes of flowers and berries draped over a feminine frame, and then to the Graves region with wines redolent of tobacco, gravel and smoke. To the East lies the famous appellations of St. Emillion, with its wonderfully ripe Cabernet Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep, plush wines of uncommon refinement.

Winemakers Notes

Beautiful bouquet with oak. Not typically Pauillac because of the red fruits. Very concentrated.After about 40 minutes decating the wine opened up beautifully. Good typical pauillac with a 30+ finish. Although no the best vintage this is still a great wine.

Rating: 0/5 - As reviewed by Decanter Very deep red; elegant oaky nose, developing cigarbox character, very stylish; quite rich but oddly neutral fruit, chocolatey, closed, not much finesse; quite good length.

We had excellent weather conditions for this harvesting season. Grapes from this harvest gave all the qualities required for a great wine, and was ready for an exceptional maceration. Wonderfully coloured, deep and intense burgundy hue. Tight tannins and very well incorporated. Will age with grace.

A luscious Lafite that is silky and elegant with layers of wonderful violet, berry, cherry and chocolate flavors. It's full-bodied, with racy, refined tannins and good length. Drinkable now, but best from 1999 and through another decade. Wine Spectator. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 1994 Lafite-Rothschild 750ml
