Chateaux Lafite Rothschild位於波爾多左岸最著名的酒村Pauillac，不過它的酒並不是Pauillac村典型的雄壯剛硬風格，反而是以婉約溫潤的獨特風格著稱。本酒莊成名於17世紀末，在1855年的波爾多Medoc頂級酒莊分級中，Lafite名列一級酒莊的龍頭地位；Rothschild家族在1868年以天價購得本酒莊之後，持續經營至今，1980年代中期的一番革新，讓Lafite的酒質甚至達到前所未有的巔峰。無怪乎前幾年在中國大陸最受歡迎的頂級珍釀就是Lafite Rothschild，價格也是五大酒莊之首！

The 1999 Lafite Rothschild is entering adolescence and beginning to show very well after an hour in the decanter. Offering up aromas of rich dark fruit mingled with cigar box, loamy soil, spices and subtle animal top notes. Medium to full-bodied, muscular and concentrated for the vintage, with lively acids and still rather youthfully assertive tannins, it's a fine effort that would rate higher if it displayed greater aromatic purity.
