Lafite Rothschild 2025, The Strong Suit

2025 is the last vintage in our beloved wooden vats. It arrived like that last card we were waiting for, allowing us to win the jackpot.

A wet winter, a very dry spring, a very hot summer but with two saviour rains for Pauillac on 24th June and 20th July. In mid-August, at the end of veraison, the vines were suffering but they were still green and progressing towards harvest with the calm of old, well-versed troops. Yields were modest, but the balance was already there for the great wines. On the last weekend of August, 60 mm of rain fell. Perhaps too much, but it was perfectly absorbed… and we will never know what the vintage would have been like without this final twist of fate.

The tastings, during the extended vatting period so as not to leave our old vat room, brought everyone to the same conclusion: the wine has the taste of the last of times and the best of times.

"The 2025 Lafite-Rothschild was cropped at 27 hl/ha between September 2 and 20. Eric Kohler mentioned that, unlike 2022, it underwent a longer maceration than usual because, after 24 days, he felt the wine was at ease with itself and there was no excess. That comes through completely on the deliriously intoxicating nose, replete with nuanced blackberry, bilberry and estuarine scents, all beautifully defined and seamlessly integrated with the 90% new oak that is made from Lafite’s own cooper. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiselled tannins. It is blessed with extraordinary harmony and it is so well balanced that you almost overlook the weight and minéralité towards the finish. Just a dab of graphite lingers on the aftertaste. This is a very succinct and refined Lafite-Rothschild that I suspect will drink earlier than the 2022, yet will age with equal grace in bottle. I admit that, upon returning to my car, it was only then that I realised what a brilliant wine the 2025 Lafite-Rothschild is destined to become"
