Producer Information

As one of the four First Growths in the 1855 Classification, Premier Cru Chateau Lafite Rothschild has been under the careful direction of Baron Eric de Rothschild since the 1970s after the chateau was occupied by the Germany army during WWII. Under his guidance the stage was set for the production of perhaps the most renowned wine from the heart of Pauillac.

The Chateau's second wine; Carruades de Lafite, is also highly regarded as a classic Medoc claret. One of the largest vineyards in the Medoc at around 1km ²; the wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cab Franc & Petit Verdot.

Lafite is rarely the most powerful or full bodied of the great Pauillac wines, but mature bottles are always elegant and complex; the epitome of fine Bordeaux!
