Château Lafite Rothschild 1962…

When 1962 Lafite was released in 1965, it retailed at about £2 per bottle, which would now equate to about £40.

Happy days…

This largely forgotten Bordeaux vintage has always been upstaged by the bravado of 1961, which was a small crop and ambitiously-priced.

Arden Fine Wines’ bottle of Lafite ’62 came from a private client in the East Midlands, who retained it from their late parent’s cellar.
