This lot comprises one bottle of 1953 vintage Château Lafite Rothschild from the Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux.
The Pauillac appellation produces some of the world’s most highly-prized and expensive red wines. Situated to the northwest of the city of Bordeaux, near the Atlantic coast, its vineyards are located on dried-out swamplands. Vines take root in gravel dunes with subterranean clay lens. Here, Cabernet Sauvignon can develop a unique depth of taste and power, so the grape variety therefore makes up a large percentage of the Pauillac cuvées. The tannin-rich, powerful, concentrated wines require longer bottle-ageing in order to differentiate and reveal their taste. The Classification of 1855 put the vineyards of the Lafite-Rothschild and Latour estates ahead of the pack, awarding them Premier cru status. Mouton-Rothschild has also belonged to the club since 1973. In second place are the Deuxième crus of Pichon-Longueville-Baron and Pichon-Longueville-Comtesse de Lalande. For decades, however, experts have judged them as being at least on a par with their Premier cru counterparts. This is also the case for numerous other top wines from this appellation.
1953 was a very good vintage in Bordeaux, especially in Pauillac. The best wines, including this Lafite Rothschild, are great to drink now but should not be stored much longer.
The fill level is low (mid shoulder) but normal for a wine this age. The label is soiled and slightly damaged. The capsule is in perfect condition.
