Eagle

2012 Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot

The Chateau Lafite Rothschild Eagle, hailing from the prestigious Pauillac region, is a stunning expression of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This red wine showcases a deep, garnet hue that hints at its complexity. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied character, elegantly balanced by vibrant acidity that lifts the fruit profile. The wine presents pronounced fruit intensity, featuring lush notes of dark berries, cassis, and a touch of plum, complemented by subtle hints of oak and spice. The tannins are firm yet approachable, providing structure while allowing the wine to remain harmonious. As a dry offering, it is impeccably crafted, reflecting both the terroir of Pauillac and the remarkable vintage of 2012.
