Vintage 2008 description:
A rare opportunity to invest in a magnum of hallowed 2008 Lafite Rothschild. Investors should note that not only was this one of the best wines of the decade, but it is immensely popular in China because of the importance of the number 8 (denoting good luck). 2008 was a cooler vintage, which is great news for investors - insiders know that cooler years are better suited to the wine’s terroir. Although a little austere at first, after 10+ years of ageing, this Lafite has opened spectacularly well and is now, simply magnificent. Will last at least another 40 years.
Producer description:
Château Lafite Rothschild is more than just a wine. It’s history in a glass. Forbes magazine has called it “perfect”, so it must be good! Its pedigree is legendary – it dates back to 1234 and has consistently retained its quality as one of the world’s leading First Growths for over 150 years. Liv-ex valued the Lafite estate at over €3.7 billion in 2018, three times more than the second most expensive estate, Château Latour. It currently ranks first place in their Bordeaux classification. Every vintage is a winner with Lafite. Wines are so refined, so compelling, so elegant, that it would be no understatement to say that it is the iconic Bordeaux for the modern generation. Basically, there are no bad years here – even the lesser ones present an outstanding investment opportunity. Sellers of the wine are rare, and buyers are plentiful. Get it while you can, and sell it at a profit if you can bear to part with it.
