Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2021

Pauillac
Topwein des Jahrgangs
Zu Lafite Rothschild muss man nicht viel sagen. Nicht erst seitdem die Asiaten großen Gefallen an diesem Chateau gefunden haben, entstehen hier weltweit mit die besten Weine. Und wir stehen nicht alleine da, wenn wir behaupten, dass dies der Wein des Jahrganges ist. Sage und schreibe 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, das ist fast nicht zu glauben. Aber genau das macht den Jahrgang 2021 so spannend, aber auch so speziell. Der Grad an Cabernet-Reife, den Lafite erzielte, ist von einem anderen Stern. Länge, Länge, Länge, so könnte man den Verkostungseindruck zusammenfassen. Diese Präzision, diese Feinheit, diese Energie und Größe, das haben nur ganz wenige Weine. Wir waren persönlich zwei Mal auf dem Chateau und verkosteten gemeinsam mit dem Team um Saskia de Rothschild. Zudem hatten wir, wir berichteten auf Instagram, ein grandioses Mittagessen auf dem Chateau. Ein Muss von einem Wein!

WEINWISSER: "Verführerisches Parfüm nach Griotte und Waldhimbeeren, Iris-Duft, helles Graphit, erkalteter Earl Grey- Tee. Am subtilen Gaumen mit einer Textur wie Samt und Seide, salzigem Extrakt, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, ein perfekt geformtem Körper wie Michelangelos David. Aristokratisch, elegant und sharp, erinnert an ‚86 oder ‚88, mit sehr langem nachhallenden Finale, ganz nah an der Höchstnote und damit der beste Wein aus Pauillac!"

JAMES SUCKLING: "Polished and refined with a firm, fine and linear tannin structure. Harmonious. Perfumed violets, roses and subtle licorice. All in balance here, with precise layers of black fruit, minerals and pencil lead. Rather seamless. Firm, yet fine and sleek to the end. Very classy. Fine-velvet texture. 96% cabernet sauvignon, 3% merlot and 1% petit verdot."

DECANTER: "Surely a contender for wine of the vintage, certainly on the Left Bank. Vibrant and explosive, what a wine in 2021. Graphite, black chocolate, black pepper and blackcurrant aromas but also with floral edges - so intense! Supple and racy on the palate, this is a firecracker of a Lafite, so much energy and acidity that you get this rush of red and black fruits then the stoney minerality and then the spice. It's sharp and racy with the length that goes on and on. You get it all here but so well delivered, real refinement and elegance in terms of fruit precision and clarity but it's just so energetic and bright. This puts you squarely in Bordeaux with the lively and balanced freshness with these gorgeous powerful and structured Cabernet aspects telling you it's from Pauillac, ending with liquorice, stone, graphite and toasted spice from the one block of old-vine Petit Verdot that went into the blend this year. Vibrant and explosive - an absolute thoroughbred - albeit a young one! Made with 96% Cabernet as opposed to a usual amount between 80-85%. A yield of 33hl/ha. The first year of full organic farming also in 2021."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zarte Edelholzwürze, schwarze Waldbeeren, feines Nougat, frische Orangenzesten, attraktives Bukett. Komplex, straff, rotbeerig unterlegte reife Kirschfrucht, präsente, sehr feine Tannine, die dem Wein Länge geben, mineralisch, salzig und gut anhaftend, ein toller Speisenbegleiter, geprägt von Frische, verfügt über Entwicklungspotenzial. Hier kann Lafite sein herausragendes Terroir voll zur Geltung bringen."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, blackberries, charcoal, cigar box, black currants, spice, cedar, graphite, and tobacco come through on the nose with a bit of coaxing. On the palate, the wine offers a pure expression of red fruits, black cherries, spice, and a touch of orange rind, along with boysenberry, licorice, and red plums on the backend. This is an elegant, regal, classic style of Lafite Rothschild that will age and evolve quite well. The wine is complete from start to finish and was produced by blending 96% Cabernet Sauvignon. 3% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot. 12.6% ABV, 3.9 pH. Drink from 2032-2060."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "96–98. Barrel Sample. This is essentially Cabernet Sauvignon, giving beautiful black currant notes that come through in succulent juiciness and a serious core of tannins that are giving the wine a solid backbone. This will push the wine's maturity well into the long-term."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A brilliant wine that shares some similarities with the formidable 1996, the 2021 Lafite Rothschild wafts from the glass with inviting aromas of dark berries, cigar box, loamy soil, black truffle and violets. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's rich and concentrated, with beautifully powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, saline finish. Of course, this isn't as dramatic as the 2020 or 2019 out of the gates, but the 2021 is a brilliant success in its own right. What's more, its structure and balance mean that it is likely to prove almost immortal. It's a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, which is one of the all-time highest percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon chez Lafite."

JEB DUNNUCK: "I loved the Grand Vin 2021 Château Lafite-Rothschild, and if anyone is going to excel in a cooler, elegant vintage like 2021, it will be Château Lafite. Based on 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, is has a brilliant perfume of pure crème de cassis, spring flowers, graphite, gravelly earth, and sandalwood, which will turn toward more classic Lafite cedar pencil with age. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has supple, elegant, yet substantial tannins, great balance, and a beautiful finish. Like most wines from this estate, it has a classy, regal, incredibly impressive style."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "The 2021 Lafite Rothschild is a blend of 96% CS, 3% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a lot of swirling to shake loose notions of ripe blackcurrants, fresh blackberries, and black raspberries, followed by hints of cedar, graphite, cloves, and cast-iron pan with a waft of roses. Light to medium-bodied, the palate delivers intensely perfumed black fruits with a floral and herbal undercurrent textured by firm, finely grained tannins, and featuring well-integrated acidity, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note. This should be one of the most long-lived wines of the vintage, with cellaring potential of 40+ years. Yields came in at 33 hl/ha and the wine has a pH of 3.9."
