Lafite Rothschild is a prestigious wine estate located in the Pauillac region of Bordeaux, France. The estate is best known for its Grand Vin, Chateau Lafite Rothschild, which is one of the five First Growths of the Bordeaux Classification of 1855.
The estate has a long and rich history that dates back to the 17th century, when it was owned by the Ségur family. In 1868, Lafite Rothschild was purchased by the Rothschild family, who modernized and expanded the estate. Today, it is owned by Baron Eric de Rothschild and his family.
Chateau Lafite Rothschild is made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The wine is known for its complexity, elegance, and aging potential, and is widely considered one of the greatest wines in the world.
