Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the most renowned Bordeaux châteaux. It is a 1st growth classified in 1855. Located in the Pauillac appellation, the 103-hectare vineyard is divided into three plots: the slopes surrounding the château, the Carruades plateau to the west, and a plot in the commune of Saint-Estèphe. The grape varieties consist of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and only 1% Petit Verdot. The average age of the vines for the grand vin is 40 years, while the 20 hectares of young vines (less than 10 years old) are used to produce the second wine: Carruades de Lafite.
The legendary vintages of Château Lafite Rothschild are 1921, 1945, the 1959 vintage, and the imperial 1982 vintage. We recommend the Château Lafite Rothschild 1998 and the Lafite Rothschild 2005.

The wine is aged for 18 to 20 months in 100% new oak barrels. Lafite Rothschild produces approximately 15,000 to 20,000 cases per year. The estate also produces a second wine, Carruades de Lafite, with approximately 25,000 to 30,000 cases. The name of Château Lafite Rothschild's second wine comes from the "Carruades plateau," where a group of plots was located, which was purchased by the château in the 19th century and adjoined the château's hillside. "Carruades de Lafite" was formerly called "Moulin des Carruades" before taking the name Carruades de Lafite.
