Founded in 1868, Château Lafite's red wine, the world's top wine brand, is a model of Bordeaux red wine in France, and is known as the queen of the wine kingdom
Château Lafite-Rothschild refers to the red wine produced by Château Lafite, one of the five famous wineries in Bordeaux, France, with a long history. Lafite is floral, fruity, mellow and elegant, and is known as the queen of the wine kingdom.
The quality of Lafite wines is of course the best in the world, first of all, because of the unique soil and the microclimate of the region in which Château Lafite is located. Château Lafite has a total area of 90 hectares and 8,500 vines per hectare. Cabernet Sauvignon accounts for about 70%, Merlot accounts for about 20%, and Cabernet Franc for the rest. The average age of the trees is more than 40 years. The annual production is about 30,000 cases of wine (12 cases of 750ml each). This is the highest production of any of the world's top wineries. Compared to this production and the price at which it can be sustained, Lafite's achievements are truly unparalleled. The vineyards at Château Lafite are grown using a very traditional method, with little use of chemicals or fertilizers, and the grapes are harvested only when they are fully ripe with careful manual care. At the time of harvesting, skilled workers will pick and select the grapes on the tree, and it is not good to not pick them. After harvesting, the grapes are sent to the press before being re-screened by more skilled workers to ensure that each grape pressed meets the highest quality requirements.
In Lafite, it takes every 2 to 3 vines to produce a 750ml bottle of wine. In order to protect these precious vines, Château Lafite is generally not allowed to be visited without the special permission of the head office. In addition, Château Lafite is also known for its willingness to spend a lot of money on employing the best breweries. The personality of Lafite is gentle and gentle, and it is more introverted, unlike the strong personality of the two famous wineries Latour and Wudang Wang, which are also produced in the same village of Bodhisattva. Lafite's floral, fruity aroma is prominent, mellow and supple, so many wine lovers call Lafite the "queen" of the wine kingdom.
In addition to Lafite, the Rothschild family owns a number of high-quality vineyards and wine brands in Bordeaux, Chile, Italy, Portugal and Greece. Among them, the more well-known Bordeaux wines include L'Evangile "Evangile" Ch. Duhart Milon, Lafite's second brand "Carruades de Lafite" and Duchameron's second brand "Moulin de Duhart", while "Alexander dry red wine" is the most popular red wine in Greece.
