A Rich, Complex, and Expressive Bordeaux Blend

Anseillan from Château Lafite Rothschild is a wine that stands on its own, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the Lafite teams. Produced in the renowned Lafite cellars, this Bordeaux red embodies the same love, passion, and attention to detail that the estate is known for, ensuring that its quality remains unwavering from vintage to vintage.

Tasting Notes

Anseillan presents a deep, rich colour with aromas of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, and subtle notes of tobacco and spice. On the palate, the wine is fresh and dense, offering a perfect balance of power and lightness. It’s ripe and expressive, with smooth tannins that have already melted, stretching the palate with a long, elegant finish. The wine is complex and lively, with excellent structure and depth, making it a remarkable Bordeaux blend.

Perfect Serve

Anseillan is ideal for pairing with hearty dishes such as roasted meats, grilled steaks, or game. It also complements aged cheeses and rich stews, making it a versatile wine for both intimate dinners and special occasions. With its rich complexity, it pairs well with food that can match its depth of flavour.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Anseillan is produced from the village of Anseillan, located just east of Château Lafite Rothschild, between the château and the Gironde. This region is known for its diverse terroirs, with cooler, more clayey soils that differ from the classic Lafite terroirs. The northern exposure of these vineyards makes the area unique, providing the wine with its distinct character. The Lafite teams’ meticulous work in these vineyards and cellars imparts a unique style to Anseillan, marked by its excellent complexity and balance.
