Anseillan Pauillac - Lafite Rothschild (2018)

New

From a very special lieu dit within the Lafite Rothschild estate, this wine was released by the Rothschild family. A blend of 40% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Petit Verdot, it possesses a superb Pauillac identity. Scented dark berries with hints of flint and graphite combine to give a deep structure, with a rich volume and all the subtle refinement that is so characteristic of this famous family’s wines. A brilliant representation of the appellation.

    Anseillan is not a new wine from the Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite stable. Anseillan has always been an integral part of Lafite yet it is a completely separate wine in its own right.  Not a Château, Anseillan is a wine, named for a 'lieu-dit' - a named locality - within the Château Lafite Rothschild estate, and was first released in 2021 with the 2018 vintage. The village of Anseillan lies to the east of Lafite Rothschild, between the Château and the Gironde. This area presents a wide variety of terroirs which are the subject of much thought and research. Anseillan is a blend of meticulously selected vineyard plots, born of many years of intense scrutiny, research, and trials at the hands of Château Lafite’s technical teams. Located at the very heart of the hamlet, they have been defined precisely within the AOC Pauillac. Cooler and later because of their northern exposure, they are also more clayey than Lafite’s classic terroirs. This terroir and the teams’ work give Anseillan’s wine a unique style and excellent complexity.
