Château Lafite Rothschild is a true gem of Bordeaux, known for producing wines that many consider the best in the region. Its history began over a century ago, but it was around 1680 that the vines that would bring prestige to Château Lafite Rothschild started to be planted.
However, it was in 1868 that Baron James de Rothschild acquired the Château, marking the beginning of a remarkable era under the Rothschild family's management.
The vineyard of Château Lafite Rothschild extends over 112 hectares planted with classic Bordeaux varieties: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot.
In addition to its exceptional quality, the wines of Château Lafite Rothschild also exude an aura of exclusivity, being recognized as some of the most expensive and desired in the world.
