A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE
Made by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) team with the same care and passion that is given to their grands crus, Sélection Prestige wines offer a great discovery of Bordeaux terroirs and tastes.
The vintage
2025 is an outstanding vintage in Bordeaux, marked by particularly favorable weather conditions. A mild and relatively dry winter, with above-average temperatures, was followed by an equally dry and temperate spring, allowing the vines to develop well without disease pressure. High temperatures at the end of May accelerated the vintage’s precocity: flowering and fruit set took place under ideal conditions. The summer that followed was warm and dry, punctuated by a few timely rains that prevented any water stress. Harvesting began on August 11 for the white varieties; the first Merlots were picked in early September under ideal weather conditions, followed by the Cabernet Sauvignons in mid-September.

Tasting
Deep garnet colour of good intensity.
The nose is intense and aromatic, dominated by toasted notes (coffee, toast). With aeration, spicy notes (black pepper) emerge.
The palate is full and creamy, well-structured with ripe, well-integrated tannins.
The finish is fresh, with good length, revealing flavours of black fruit (blackberries) and spice.
