The second wine of Lafite comes through in 2024 with a vibrant and approachable blend—47% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, with a splash of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Expect aromas of dark berries, plum, lilac, and tobacco leaf, wrapped in a medium-bodied, easygoing frame. It’s lively, open-knit, and ready to charm with a modestly persistent finish. This is an en primeur offer—you're buying now, and the wine will land in Singapore around mid-2027. Think of it as securing a future classic at today’s price.

Château Lafite Rothschild is the result of a rare harmony of nature, which it alone controls and which continues to be created from vintage to vintage, for over a thousand seasons.

On the plateau of Lafite’s mythical gravel, the men and women who work in the vineyards are the ones who pass on wine-growing traditions. And for over one hundred and fifty years, with the arrival of Baron James, the same family has taken turns to deliver a single message: That of precision and resilience in the face of the master strokes that the sky writes on its lands.

“Lafite remains unyielding, yet delicate, and subtle.”

In this eternal beginning anew, in this inconstancy of nature that writes a different destiny each year, Lafite remains unyielding, yet delicate, and subtle. It has the nature of the wise, unchanging like its eternal gravel. For if it is still there after a thousand seasons, its roots and soul will tell us that it is already writing its future.
