Producer: Château Lafitte, Camblanes
Château Lafitte is located in Camblanes-et-Meynac in the Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. The history of the château dates back to 1763. Today, the estate is run by Philippe Mengin, whose family has shaped it for several generations. The vineyards are planted on soils of gravel, clay and limestone, which contribute to the fruit, structure and balance of the wines. The wines of Château Lafitte represent a classic Bordeaux style with fruit, structure and understated elegance. Merlot brings richness, fruit and suppleness, while Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure, depth and ageing potential. Ageing in French oak barriques gives the wine additional spice and an elegant oak influence without overshadowing the fruit.
