Description
2021 Long Dai
is a Bordeaux-style blend hailing from the Qiu Shan Valley in Shandong, China, features Cabernet Sauvignon as its backbone, supported by Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Deep and expressive, it opens with a captivating bouquet of ripe black cherries, sandalwood, crushed stones, and subtle notes of tea leaf and dark chocolate. Silken yet structured, the palate reveals layers of blackberry compote, graphite, and savory herbs, wrapped in finely grained tannins and carried by a vibrant, balancing acidity. Aged for 12 to 18 months in a mix of new and seasoned French oak barrels, it delivers depth and poise while remaining incredibly refined. Ideal food pairings include Peking duck, grilled lamb with rosemary, or rich mushroom dishes. Produced by Domaine de Long Dai under the stewardship of Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), the wine reflects a profound respect for terroir and meticulous winemaking, presenting a modern Chinese classic with unmistakable Lafite elegance.
