This is a rare opportunity to purchase a bottle of 1968 Lafite. The bottle has impeccable storage history having been kept in a wonderful Warwickshire Manor House Cellar since purchase in the early 70's.
This is a rare vintage, indeed I can only find a couple of other bottles being sold in the UK at the moment (around £600 bottle).
Undoubtedly the best-known and finest Bordeaux wine. Château Lafite is one of the three undisputed greats of Pauillac. The vineyards of Chateau Lafite Rothschild sits on the highest knoll of the Pauillac area. (Appellation Pauillac Controlée). The vineyard was at one time owned by Alexandre de Segur, proprietor of Chateau Latour and Calon Segur. Lafite became public property in 1794, after the owner (the President of the Parliament of Guyenne) had been guillotined in the Revolution. After changing hands a few more times, the Rothschild family acquired the property when it was put up for auction in 1868 and remain the owners today.
