Château Lafite-Rothschild

The vines which enter the high-class wine Château Lafite Rothschild are 40 years old on an average. The oldest piece, known as La Gravière, was planted in 1886.
Château Lafite saw many adventures: difficult successions, the Vanlerberghe mystery, phylloxera and occupation of the Medoc as far back as June 40.
At the end of 1945, under the crook of Baron Elie de Rothschild, remarkable years (45–47–49) will give plenty of spunk to the reconstruction. With Eric de Rothschild will follow the beautiful years of the Eighties.
