86.5 % 卡本妮蘇維翁
13.5 % 梅洛
冬季非常潮濕溫和，葡萄發芽較早。如往常一樣，葡萄按時開花，分佈均勻。夏季時高溫和多雲天氣相交替，直至收穫期：7月的天氣較涼，8月天氣炎熱，9月再次降溫，伴有幾次降雨。雖然整個成熟過程的天氣不盡相同，但收穫期的天氣條件非常好。
品酒筆記（灌瓶時）：
這款酒帶有濃烈的黑色水果芳香，且氣質極為優雅、和諧，單寧濃郁而成熟，擁有純正的果香和魅力無窮的持久性。
The 2001 Lafite Rothschild’s deep, saturated plum/purple color is accompanied by lead pencil liqueur-like notes intermixed with sweet red and black currants, plums, and cedar. This blend of 86.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13.5% Merlot is a classic example of Lafite. Extremely elegant, medium-bodied, with intense concentration, richness, and sweet tannin, it appears to be on a rapid evolutionary track, at least in comparison to recent Lafite vintages that have been far more backward and powerful. The classy 2001 should be at its finest between 2007-2020. RP
