CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD<br />

Château Lafite is one of the most renowned<br />

wineries in the Médoc and also has one of the<br />

largest estates. The name Lafite comes from the<br />

Gascon term “la hite” meaning “small hill”. The<br />

current owners, the Rothschilds, bought the<br />

property in 1866 and have invested heavily in the<br />

vineyard and cellar to maintain their excellent<br />

reputation. Their wines are often described as being<br />

very perfumed and elegant, compared to the other<br />

first growths which can be more powerful.<br />
