Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classe 'Château Lafite Rothschild' is the most expensive wine in the world. First among the first in the history of crus classés in 1855 in the Bordeaux area, lord of the gravel soil of Pauillac. It was born in France in Pauillac in 1670 and at the beginning of the 1700s it was one of the most exclusive fine wines to be served at the court of the French king Louis XV, so much so that it deserves the nickname of "le vin du Roi", the wine of the King attributed to it by Cardinal Richelieu. Today, the Chateau Lafite Rothschild vineyard is about 100 hectares, but only one third of the production is reserved for grand vin.
Château Lafite Rothschild 2018 celebrates 150 years of viticulture of the Domaines Barons de Rothschild with great success.

In a continuation of this tradition, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) decided to produce the Réserves in four major Bordeaux appellations:: Bordeaux, Bordeaux Blanc, Médoc and Pauillac. In creating the Collection, DBR (Lafite)’s objective is to offer classic Bordeaux wines with immediate charm.
