Domaines de Barons de Rothschild
The Domaines de Barons de Rothschild represents the collection of estates acquired over the centuries by the descendants of the Rothschild family, who purchased in 1868 the historic estate founded by Jacques de Segur in 1670, known worldwide for the legendary and unattainable Chateau Lafite. Noble and sublime, this blend of Bordeaux grapes boasts among its admirers personalities of incredible historical significance, such as Cardinal Richelieu who at the court of Louis XV called it vin du Roi (the wine of the King) and also Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States of America, who had his initials silk-screened on some bottles from the 1787 vintage.
The family of Baron de Rothschild is therefore indissolubly linked to the legendary winemaking art of Bordeaux, which has seen them since the dawn at the top of the hierarchies that dictated international prestige and excellence, so much so that it made possible the acquisition of other Chateaux in the Bordeaux area: Duhart Milon, L’Evangile, and Rieussec. The history of their Domaine thus lasts for more than three centuries, counting five generations at the helm of the property that over time has acquired other productive realities in France and South America such as Aussieres in Languedoc, Los Vascos in Colchagua, Chile, and Bodegas Caro in Mendoza, Argentina.
Wherever they plant vines, the Barons de Rothschild manage to achieve excellence in any case, expressing grape varieties with infinite possibilities such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec into small masterpieces of international winemaking, destined to last over time and, above all, in history. To expand their product line, they have recently developed a selection of wines accessible to the general public, encapsulating in each bottle the style and elegance that also characterizes the best labels, obtained from the vineyards located in the Bordeaux area owned by the Barons de Rothschild.
