How much do you know about French red wine Lafite?
1. Why is authentic Lafite so expensive?
Lafite red wine comes from Château Lafite Rothschild, one of the top wineries in Bordeaux, France. The quality of authentic Lafite wines is excellent. Grapes used to produce authentic Lafite red wine are hand-picked and carefully selected. If the quality of the grapes in a certain year does not meet the standards, Château Lafite will not produce authentic Lafite red wine that year. Moreover, the annual production of authentic Lafite red wine is very scarce, only about 200,000 bottles. With so many people vying for these 200,000 bottles, scarcity drives up value, and many people are eager to get their hands on Lafite red wine. A combination of these factors leads to the high price of authentic Lafite.
2. What is the annual production of French Lafite red wine?
The annual production of authentic Lafite is around 200,000 bottles. Due to high demand, supply often falls short, making it difficult even for French people to acquire it.
Therefore, 95% of the Lafite sold everywhere domestically is not genuine or authentic. Lafite collaborates with many wineries in China and other New World countries, using the Lafite brand, but the grapes and winemaking process are local. The prices are usually in the tens or hundreds, naturally incomparable to Lafite produced in France.
3. Which vintage of French Lafite red wine is best?
"French Lafite red wine is definitely better when it comes from a good vintage. Good vintages are very rich, for example, 1945, 1961, 1982, 1996, and 2000 are still good to drink now. 2009 and 2010 were excellent vintages, sure to be delicious, but it's a bit early to drink them now. 2015 was also an excellent vintage, but it's too early to drink it now.
The 1982 vintage in France was a rare good vintage in the last 50 years. The quality of the grapes was excellent due to the climatic conditions that year, including annual rainfall, sunshine, and harvest weather. The climate in Bordeaux, France in 1982 was exceptional, and many renowned wine critics praised this vintage. As a result, wines from this vintage have received consistent acclaim among wine collectors worldwide. Because more people are buying them, there are fewer high-quality bottles circulating in the market, causing their prices to rise repeatedly."
