Situated on
the summit of the "Premières Côtes de Bordeaux",
Château Lafitte is remarkably well-exposed
to the sun :.
The harmonious character of Château Lafitte's
wine is due to the subtle blend of several
grape varietes :
- Merlot
: 50 %, gives a soft, rounded wine in the
mouth, with fruity, spicy aromas.
- Cabernet franc : 10 % brings finesse and
bouquet
- Cabernet - Sauvignon : 30 %, robust and
elegant, rich in tannin, produces excellent
ageing potential.
- Malbec : 10 % good vinosity and softness.
