Lafite 擁有一個靈魂，一個美麗的靈魂，溫柔且大方。Lafite 將土壤幻化成夢想。Lafite本就是和諧的體現，這是一種在人與自然之間達成的和諧。因為，「若沒有我們辛勤的葡萄農，一切都是虛無。
」早在
1815年，葡萄酒經紀人紀堯姆．
勞頓
(Guillaume Lawton)就對 Lafite 古堡作出了如下評論：
「我將其置於榜首……Lafite 最為優雅與精緻，酒體也最為細膩。」

“Lafite has a soul, a beautiful, generous, kindly soul. Lafite turns bare earth into heaven. Lafite is harmony, a harmony between man and nature, because without our magnificent winegrowers, nothing would be accomplished.”
Baron Eric de RothschildIn 1815, Guillaume Lawton said of Château Lafite, “I consider it to be the the most elegant and delicate, with the finest substance of the three (Premier Crus).

Château Lafite Rothschild is a wine estate in France, owned by members of the Rothschild family since the 19th century. The name Lafite comes from the Gascon term "la hite" meaning "small hill". Lafite was one of four wine-producing Châteaux of Bordeaux originally awarded First Growth status in the 1855 Classification, which was based on recent prices. Since then, it has been a consistent producer of one of the world's most expensive red wines.

The aromas of stones, oyster shell, blackcurrants and mushrooms are very intense. Full-bodied, dense and powerful with lots of blackberries. Great finish. Super energy and depth. Try in 2022. Fascinating.
