The first Château purchased by the French arm of the Rothschild family, Lafite has cultivated a tradition of wine growing practices and expertise over six generations. Named the 'Lafite Spirit', this has continued to guide the production of high quality wines with finesse and elegance throughout the groups properties over the past century and a half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is this pioneering ‘Lafite Spirit’, based on a rich past and tradition rooted in the soils of Bordeaux, that has led the Group to open up to the world, establishing vineyards in new regions and producing new, high quality wines. The handing down of knowledge from generation to generation persists to the present day, with the most recent succession occurring in 2018 when Saskia de Rothschild became the 6th generation to take up the reins of Château Lafite and Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the Bordeaux properties of Château Duhart-Milon, Château Rieussec and Château L’Evangile, the Group today also counts the prestigious wineries of Viña Los Vascos (Chile, 1988), Domaine d’Aussières (Languedoc, 1999), Bodegas Caro (Argentina, 1999) and a new vineyard in China, Domaine de Long Dai, among its collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"domaine-barons-de-rothschild-lafite-pauillac-reserve-speciale","title":"Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) Pauillac Réserve Spéciale 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) Pauillac Reserve Spéciale is made with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes collected from the younger vines at Château Duhart Milon and Chateau Lafite Rothschild itself and is widely considered to be the 'unofficial' third wine of Château Lafite. Displaying aromas of cool blackberry coulis, warm slate, fresh tobacco, cedar, violets and graphite, the palate is compact and concentrated with fine tannins.

Not a Château, Anseillan is a wine, named for a 'Lieu-Dit' - a named locality - within the Château Lafite Rothschild Estate and was first released in 2021 with the 2018 vintage. The village of Anseillan lies to the east of Lafite Rothschild, between the Château and the Gironde. This area presents a wide variety of terroirs which are the subject of much thought and research. Anseillan is a blend of meticulously selected vineyard plots, born of many years of intense scrutiny, research, and trials at the hands of Château Lafite’s technical teams. Located at the very heart of the hamlet, they have been defined precisely within the AOC Pauillac. Cooler and later because of their northern exposure, they are also more clayey than Lafite’s classic terroirs.

The origin of the name comes from the Carruades plateau, a group of plots adjacent to the chateau’s best vineyards, purchased in 1845 by Château Lafite. Carruades de Lafite is made according to the traditional Bordeaux method. Alcoholic fermentation is conducted in wooden, concrete and stainless steel vats. Gentle pumping-over helps to ensure a soft extraction and is carried out according to the specific characteristics of each tank. Total maceration time lasts for about 20 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wines are transferred into French oak barrels made by the Tonnelleries des Domaines in Pauillac for a period of 18 months approximately. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (51%), Merlot (42%), Cabernet Franc (5%) and Petit Verdot (2%) grapes the Carruades de Lafite opens with a wonderful floral bouquet alongside notes of ripe fruit, blackcurrants, cedar, and spices.
