Domaines Barons De Rothschild

Chteau Lafite is perhaps the most famous wine label in the world. The estate achieved wide popularity in the 1750s when it became the favorite wine of King Louis XV. Thomas Jefferson was also a steadfast customer and even visited the estate. In 1868, Baron James de Rothschild became the owner of Lafite. A born dilettante, it suited him to be the master of what, in 1855, was classified as first among the great wines of the Mdoc. Today, Baron Eric de Rothschild presides over this most famous Bordeaux estate.
