Château Lafite Rothschild 2022 is the "first among the firsts" of the original 1855 Bordeaux Classification. This vintage represents a technical triumph under Chairperson Saskia de Rothschild, characterized by the earliest harvest start since 1893 and a record-shattering 17.5% press wine in the final blend. It is a profound expression of vine adaptation in Pauillac’s most storied terroir.

The 2022 Lafite is a "triple perfect" vintage, a designation earned more often by Lafite than any other Pauillac First Growth. Given the historic nature of the press wine blend and the extreme Cabernet dominance, this bottle is a foundational asset for any blue-chip Bordeaux collection. Every bottle offered is verified for original label integrity and stored at ideal cellar temperature. Original Wood Cases (OWC) are prioritized for multi-bottle acquisitions. This is a mandatory target for those tracking the high-water marks of the Rothschild legacy.

Built for the cellar; optimal drinking begins from 2032 through 2070+. If enjoying early, a 3–4 hour decant is essential to unlock the reticent tobacco and graphite layers. Serve at 60–64°F in a large Bordeaux glass. Pairs peerlessly with aged ribeye, roasted lamb, or truffle-driven preparations.
