EN PRIMEUR Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1. Cru Classé Pauillac 2024 i trækasse

“98 points. Such tranquility—how is it possible? Lafite 2024 has completely upended my expectations for the vintage. With its composure and detachment, it resonates in perfect harmony with the understated character of the year. This is the kind of serenity that can only arise from true alignment between man and nature.” – Alexandre MA

“96-98 points. What a bouquet—one could dive in and smell it forever. Violets, Williams pear, cherry blossom,  blackcurrant, cool smoke, and a hint of almond … Outstanding balance, remarkable length. One of the finest wines of the vintage.” – Vinum

“96-97 points. A more Burgundian vintage for Lafite … Intensity and concentration. It shows the Lafite hallmark of elegance, with more fluidity and crunch this year. Very long and delicate.” – James Suckling

”The harvest began on 23rd September with our best Merlot grapes from Pointon and Gravette, and we were now full steam ahead at all costs, dodging the raindrops. Our best Cabernet grapes were picked at the beginning of October, and we had everything in on the 7th. With short vinfications, gentle extractions and selected pressings, Olivier’s team now navigates in the cellar with elegance and precision. What a milestone !” – Château Lafite Rothschild

Anmeldelser af Château Mouton Rothschild 1. Cru Classé Pauillac 2024

98/100 Alexandre MA
“Such tranquility—how is it possible? Lafite 2024 has completely upended my expectations for the vintage. With its composure and detachment, it resonates in perfect harmony with the understated character of the year. This is the kind of serenity that can only arise from true alignment between man and nature. There is no flamboyant fruit, no ostentatious spice—just a few brushstrokes and hints of graphite, sketching a scene of cool restraint and sublime clarity. On the palate, it enters with gentle fluidity, like silk gliding over the tongue. Elusive at first, it settles with the quiet force of a Tai Chi movement—silent, yet reverberating with persistent depth. Tasting it evokes a poetic line: “The mountain takes form in breath, between presence and absence.” This wine does not seek brilliance or exuberance; its radiance lies in its subtlety.”

“What a bouquet—one could dive in and smell it forever. Violets, Williams pear, cherry blossom,  blackcurrant, cool smoke, and a hint of almond. On the palate, it opens with precision and clarity—refined as always—yet full of tension and energy, underpinned by a rare inner calm. Outstanding balance, remarkable length. One of the finest wines of the vintage.”

“A more Burgundian vintage for Lafite, with cedar, graphite, paprika, white pepper and fresh red fruit. Nuanced and refined, with a medium body and understated fruit. Intensity and concentration. It shows the Lafite hallmark of elegance, with more fluidity and crunch this year. Very long and delicate. 96% cabernet sauvignon, 3% merlot and 1% petit verdot.”

96/100 Decanter
“Fragranced red berries and purple flowers. Vivid purple colour in the glass. Supple and generous, this has a punch of plum and cranberry fruit straight away, zingy and lively but wonderfully textured too. Chalky, a little bitter, but soft and long. Juicy but more high toned and sleek, tension is there in the live wire nature of the wine. Bright, focussed, not so calm - more energy to the fore with prominent tannins but a lovely weight and plenty of fruit flavour! A vintage where Lafite excels once again. 16% press. 3.75pH. A yield of 32hl/ha.”
