CHÂTEAU LAFITE

Château Lafite is one of the most iconic names in Bordeaux and widely regarded as one of the finest wine estates in the world. Nestled in the Pauillac appellation on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, this Premier Cru Classé estate has a legacy stretching back centuries, with records of wine production dating as far back as the 17th century. The estate spans over 100 hectares, dominated by gravel-rich soils ideal for growing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.

The château’s deep-rooted history is closely linked with nobility, including ownership by the powerful Ségur family in the 18th century, who earned the estate its reputation as the “King’s Wine” after King Louis XV’s court embraced it. Lafite’s signature style is one of elegance, finesse, and longevity. Its wines are celebrated for their aromatic complexity, refined tannins, and remarkable aging potential, often developing for decades with grace and structure.
