Critical Acclaim

2024 Lafite Rothschild

95 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux:

“Rich texture, this stands head and shoulders above many in the vintage, with graphite, crayon, and cassis bud rather than exuberant black fruits. This is precise, savoury, delineated, floral, gunsmoke, juicy, captures the effortless elegance that Lafite does so, so well, and it totally delivers.”

Having tasted it earlier this month with the Lafite team, Zachys shares Anson's assessment of the vintage, highlighting these particular aspects of the wine:

- It is the first certified organic vintage at Lafite.

- Strict selection resulted in high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon.

- Cabernet Sauvignon makes up 96% of the blend.

- The production volume was down by 12%.

For enthusiasts of white Bordeaux, don't miss the En Primeur debut of Blanc de Duhart—an impressive white composed of 62% Sémillon, in a vintage where white wines excel.

With lower yields and pricing that exceeds our expectations—we aimed to match the 2014 price, but this offering is even lower—there is simply no better time to purchase Lafite.

Bring home this coveted wine and experience the “effortless elegance” of the 95-point 2024 Lafite Rothschild.

Our Expert's Take on the 2024 Vintage

Despite the challenges of the year, 2024 is emerging as a collector’s vintage, defined by low yields, excellent balance, and the most compelling pricing in over a decade. With alcohol levels moderating to 12–13%, this vintage marks a return to Bordeaux's hallmark freshness, tannin quality, and aromatics. The result? Wines that are elegantly sculpted rather than exuding raw power. Faced with yields reduced by as much as 50%, the châteaux prioritized quality above all else in this vintage.

Here’s a look at some highlights:

- The top red wines from Margaux, Pauillac, and Pomerol are refined, expressive, and exceptionally rare.

- Sauternes enjoyed ideal conditions for the development of botrytis.

- White Bordeaux wines are showing vibrant energy and distinct salinity.

Regional Standouts:

- Left Bank: Margaux and Pauillac are the clear stars of the vintage.

- Right Bank: Pomerol stands out, with iconic estates like Vieux Château Certan (VCC), Figeac, and Cheval Blanc demonstrating remarkable depth.

Given the limited allocations and sharp pricing, En Primeur 2024 offers a prime opportunity to secure the top wines from this vintage before they disappear.
