Domaine Barons De Rothschild (Lafite) "Reserve Speciale" 2009 Pauillac 150cl
Chateau Lafite-Rothschild is one of the great Bordeaux wine estates. Lafite was listed as one of only four 1st Growths in the famed 1855 Classification of Medoc - though sister-estate Ch.Mouton-Rothschild gained promotion from 2nd (2eme Cru) to 1st-Growth in 1973.
From the exceptional 2009 vintage, this bottle of Domaine Barons De Rothschild (Lafite) "Reserve Speciale" is made from grapes grown on younger vines within the historic vineyards of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. In years to come, these same vines shall produce the top wine of the estate.
Large-format bottles are great for extended ageing periods due to the wine's slower rate of maturation. Indeed, this "Magnum" presents a fantastic investment opportunity for cellaring top-quality Bordeaux from an iconic estate and superb vintage.
Please note there shall be a shipping charge for 2 bottles applied to this lot.
