2003 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild Pauillac

100-point Candidate for Wine of the Vintage

The most famous winery in the world, Château Lafite Rothschild, is a real First among First Growths.

Much of that reputation can be attributed to some of the most sublime terroir in the Médoc, 270 acres of fine gravel, aeolian sand, and limestone. Robert Parker’s _Wine Advocate_ called it a  “sensational effort” and we couldn’t agree more. A simply staggering achievement, this wine will still be gathering weight and drinking gorgeously in your grandkids’ generation. One for the bucket list.
