Owned by the Rothschild family since 1868, the estate is defined by a winemaking philosophy that prioritizes elegance and finesse over raw power. The vineyard's unique terroir, characterized by deep gravel beds on limestone subsoil, allows for the production of grapes with extraordinary complexity and aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the 2006 vintage displays a deep, dark ruby and purple hue. The aromatic profile is classic and sophisticated, offering a bouquet of graphite, cedar, and crème de cacao interwoven with intense notes of blackcurrant and black cherries. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied, characterized by a dense, concentrated core and a remarkably silky texture. It showcases a harmonious balance between its fresh acidity and firm, well integrated tannins, leading into a long and persistent finish. This blend consists primarily of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. While it began entering its drinking window around 2016, it is structured to evolve beautifully through 2040 and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAccolades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine Advocate - 97 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinous - 96 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine Spectator - 95 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecanter - 95 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"300464 - Nobilis Wine Importers Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43139078946903,"sku":"106007-2006me","price":2498.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/lafite2006.jpg?v=1778594158","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/chateau-lafite-rothschild-2006","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
