Pauillac (Premier Grand Cru Classé)

About this wine

As a prestigious First Growth from the 1855 classification, Château Lafite Rothschild represents the pinnacle of Pauillac. This full-bodied French red is primarily driven by Cabernet Sauvignon, beautifully supported by Merlot. With its classic high acidity and a moderate 13.0% ABV, it offers a masterful balance of power and elegance. This historic Bordeaux demands richly flavored dishes to match its pedigree, making it a stellar companion for classic pairings like roasted beef, lamb, game meat, and hearty poultry preparations.
