Pauillac - Château Lafite Rothschild 2006 Magnum

The estate

Among the first in the history of the classified growths of 1855 from Bordeaux, Château Lafite Rothschild is a lord on its gravel lands. Bearing a long winemaking tradition initiated in 1620, it has established itself over the centuries as a true standard-bearer of the Pauillac appellation on the Left Bank of the Bordeaux region.

Because great wines are born only in great terroirs, Château Lafite Rothschild benefits from an exceptional location with a vineyard divided into three main areas. The hills surrounding the Château, the plateau of Carruades to the west, and a plot in the neighboring commune of Saint-Estèphe, Château Lafite Rothschild oversees a total of 112 hectares of vines planted on fine, deep gravel soils with sand on the surface, while the limestone subsoil allows for excellent drainage.
