First Growth Bordeaux

First growth Bordeaux, the pinnacle of wine making in the region and amongst the most sought after and well known bottles in the world. 

In great years these wines are ethereally scented with a fine boned structure that is unrivalled elsewhere in the wine world. Even in poorly perceived years the wines are a match for many. 

We are delighted to offer an exquisite parcel of these gems, all lying at Seckford, many in OWC having never moved since delivery from the Chateau. 

Added to that we wanted to highlight the fantastic quality of their second and in the case of Latour third wines. They too are brilliantly made and will excite any Bordeaux lover.

2005 Ch. Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac

£3575 per 6 IB

98 Points (Neal Martin)

The Château Lafite-Rothschild 2005 has that telltale pencil-shaving bouquet that is wonderfully defined with red berry fruit moving gracefully towards secondary notes of mint, Seville orange marmalade and leather. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, utterly graceful in the mouth, classic in style with a gradual build towards the pencil-lead finish that contains enormous persistence. This is not a powerful Lafite-Rothschild – there is no need. Graceful and elegant, this is an intellectual, sophisticated Pauillac that will age for an extraordinarily long time. If you can splash the cash, why not?
