Chateau Lafite Rothschild
| Description: | "Lafite has a soul, a beautiful, generous, kindly soul. Lafite turns bare earth into heaven. Lafite is harmony, a harmony between man and nature, because without our magnificent winegrowers, nothing would be accomplished." Baron Eric de Rothschild In 1815, Guillaume Lawton said of Château Lafite, "i consider it to be the the most elegant and delicate, with the finest substance of the three (Premier Crus). The location of its vines is one of the finest in the Médoc". In 1855 the Château was ranked as a Premier Grand Cru in the famous classification that was prepared for the Universal Exhibition of that year.

Ageing In Oak Barrels 18 to 20 months in 100% new barrels. Average Annual Production 16,000 cases. |
