Director Charles Chevallier describes 2004 as a classic, fresh Lafite that will be accessible young but also capable of aging. "Even the merlot-rich wines in 2004 taste and smell like cabernet," he noted, "with their floral character, sound acidity and flavor definition." Chevallier compares the 2004 Lafite to the 2002, which had a slightly higher indice de polyphenols totaux (70, compared to 68 in 2004), and expressed the opinion that the new wine is more complex than the 2001. This estate did a good bit of green harvesting, as well as some additional crop-thinning after the August vacation, and still produced 55 hectoliters per hectare.
