Goedhuis, October 2023
Anseillan is a rare cuvée from Ch Lafite Rothschild and very close to the family’s heart. It is not a declassified wine, but rather a unique property within Lafite that is produced by the Lafite team and aged in the Lafite cellars. The 2014 combines Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to produce a stunning representation of this sensational Pauillac terroir that has the added attraction of being accessible in its youth, without losing its ageing potential. Offered in the hard-to-find magnum format, it is drinking handsomely already.

Pauillac
Due south of St Estèphe lies the appellation of Pauillac, the king of Left Bank communes. It is home to three first growths as well as a plethora of other classified growths. Pauillac's renowned well-draining, gravelly soils enable its dominant grape Cabernet Sauvignon to reach fantastic heights of complexity and concentration. As a result, Pauilac's wines tend to be full-bodied with compact tannins and good freshness. Its aromatics are often what one associates with classic Bordeaux: pencil shavings, black currant and occasional mint. Some of the most famous châteaux of the commune are Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, Pichon Baron, Pichon Lalande and Lynch Bages.
