| About | A chateau that has always had a very solid reputation but, as so often in Bordeaux, suffered when the estate was divided because of the arcane Napoleonic inheritance laws. Fortunately it was rescued by the might of the Rothschild financial empire and is now making some of the best wine in its history though its fortunes can ebb and flow dependent on the success of Chateau Lafite. |
