About
Château Lafite Rothschild is a French wine estate of Bordeaux wine, located in Pauillac in France, owned by members of the Rothschild family since the 19th century, and rated as a First Growth under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification.
Lafite was one of four wine-producing châteaux of Bordeaux originally awarded First Growth ('Premier Cru') status in the 1855 Classification (Chateau Mouton Rothschild was upgraded in 1973 to become the fifth). Since then, it has been a consistent producer of one of the world's most expensive red wines. A bottle of 1869 Château Lafite Rothschild holds the world record for the most expensive bottle of wine sold at auction for $233,973 in 2010.
