Description:
- In 1868, Baron James de Rothschild took ownership of the Lafite vineyard near the town of St Emilion. The 100-hectare (247-acre) estate overlooks the Garonne River, and opens onto a truly stunning view. Most of the vines at the Château Lafite-Rotschild are Cabernet Sauvignon, producing a much sought-after wine appreciated the world over. Château Lafite-Rotschild's traditional fermenting cellar consists of large chestnut vats, some of which are 40 years old. Fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures and the steeping process is often three weeks long.
