Recycling of 2012 Chateau Lafite red wine

Recycling of 2012 Chateau Lafite red wine

For wine collectors, 2012 was a climatically challenging year in Bordeaux, but it was precisely when renowned châteaux showed their strength. The 2012 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, thanks to its excellent terroir and rigorous selection process, still produced a wine of exceptional quality. This vintage of Lafite has a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, exhibiting the signature graphite, blackcurrant, cedar, and subtle tobacco aromas typical of the Pauillac region. Compared to other powerful vintages, the 2012 Lafite is characterized by a more elegant, delicate, and classically French balance. It is steadily entering its optimal drinking window and is in high demand in both the secondary fine wine auction market and the high-end dining supply chain.
