CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD
Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the most
renowned wineries in the Médoc and also has
one of the largest estates. The name Lafite comes
from the Gascon term “la hite” meaning “small
hill”. The current owners, the Rothschilds, bought
the property in 1866 and have invested heavily in
the vineyard and cellar to maintain their excellent
reputation. Their wines are often described as being
very perfumed and elegant, compared to the other
first growths which can be more powerful.

CHÂTEAU LATOUR
Established in 1670, Château Latour is situated in

the years and is now owned by French billionaire
François Pinault whose empire also includes Gucci

reputation for producing great wines in very
challenging vintages with difficult weather. Its wines
are very powerful and structured, and in the very
best vintages they can last a century or more.
