Parker about Château Lafite Rothschild 2024
A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2024 Lafite Rothschild offers up aromas of minty black currants, violets, incense, loamy soil and cigar box, followed by a medium-bodied, pillowy and open-knit palate built around tangy acids and powdery tannins, concluding with a discreetly herbal finish. Harvest began on September 24 and concluded on October 4, delivering a Lafite in something of a throwback style, nodding to the wines made here in the 1970s.

Château Lafite Rothschild 2024

Château Lafite Rothschild 2024 is a striking testament to the enduring excellence and refinement of this iconic Pauillac estate. Presenting a deep, almost impenetrable purple, the wine unfolds an expressive bouquet of black currants, cassis, and ripe plums, accompanied by floral accents such as violets. Characteristic notes of cedar wood, graphite, tobacco, and fine minerality underscore the typical signature of the Lafite terroir.
On the palate, the 2024 vintage impresses with exceptional freshness, clarity, and precision. The tannins are silky, dense, and perfectly integrated—powerful yet remarkably elegant. The well-balanced acidity lends the wine vibrancy and excitement, while subtle hints of spice and mineral notes emphasize the aromatic depth and complexity.
The finish is long, delicately spiced, and characterized by a captivating finesse—a true expression of the care and craftsmanship that went into every stage of the winemaking process. Château Lafite Rothschild 2024 is a great wine with impressive aging potential, one that will delight both in its youth and gain complexity over the decades.
