My annual visit to Lafite also afforded me my first taste of the 2007 vintage in Pauillac, and the young Lafite gave a good indication of what I would find at many of my subsequent visits in this appellation: a pure and aromatic wine but with moderate density and ripeness-likely suited for mid-term aging rather than the long haul. Director Charles Chevallier describes the vintage as "classical but at the same time fresh and expressive. We did not do a lot of green-harvesting as the crop level was small to begin with, but we did a lot of leaf-pulling to ventilate the fruit."

Lafite may be one of the most classic examples of all in the classic Bordeaux vintage of 2005-which is to say that the young sample I tasted was understated and refined but austere and difficult to judge, as young Lafite often is. The property-wide yield was just 40 hectoliters per hectare, down 20% from normal, and I was told that it was especially easy to make the selection for the grand vin in '05, which actually turned out to be 40% less than the quantity produced in an average year.
