Lafite - First Growth Elegance October 2, 2009 “The celebrated growth of Lafite is of remote origin and very ancient renown. It occupies the finest crests in Pauillac, a region the Latin poet Ausonius spoke of as early as the year 325 B.C., ...The bouquet of Lafite wines is very suave and of incomparable delicacy; its savor brings together at the same time the scent of almonds and the scent of violets without it being possible to distinguish whether the one dominates the other ...The wines of Lafite have always been produced with the same zealous care. They keep their reputation untarnished and still dazzle the world as they once did the Court in Versailles.” - Ch. Cocks - Ed. Feret Bordeaux and its Wines 17th Ed.

Buyers place bids on wines and there is no buyer's premium. Vinfolio is the intermediary and all wines must pass our stringent inspection guidelines. After a bid is accepted, fulfillment averages about a week for wines in Vinfolio storage and 3-4 weeks for wines stored offsite.
