{"product_id":"chateau-lafite-rothschild-2001","title":"Château Lafite Rothschild 2001","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Lafite Rothschild 2001 is a beautifully poised Bordeaux from one of the most revered names in wine. Elegant rather than forceful, it showcases the classic Lafite style: remarkable refinement, layered complexity, and an unmistakable sense of place from Pauillac in the Médoc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows a deep plum-purple core with impressive concentration. The nose is marked by aromatic cedar, lead pencil, sweet red and black currants, and ripe plum, all lifted by the finesse that makes Lafite so distinctive.\n\nOn the palate, it is medium-bodied, precise, and polished, with intense but understated fruit, supple tannins, and a long, composed finish. The 2001 vintage already offers excellent drinking, yet it still has the structure and balance to continue developing gracefully over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Lafite Rothschild is situated in Pauillac in Bordeaux’s Médoc region, where gravelly soils and a temperate Atlantic-influenced climate help produce wines of great perfume, freshness, and longevity. The estate works with strict yield control, manual harvesting, and hand work throughout the year, while using minimal chemical intervention and careful organic fertilisation to support old vines and preserve vineyard health. The estate’s traditional vinification is designed to protect purity and elegance, resulting in a wine that reflects both the terroir and the precision of the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine is an excellent match for fine lamb, beef tenderloin, duck, truffle dishes, or slow-braised game, as well as mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant gently for about 1–2 hours if drinking now, especially to let the aromatics fully open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Lafite Rothschild is one of Bordeaux’s most legendary estates and was ranked among the original four Premier Crus in the 1855 classification. Its history dates back to the 13th century, and under the Ségur family in the 17th and 18th centuries it became known as a wine of exceptional prestige, earning a reputation as one of the great names of France.
