Lafite - A book of reference
This superb, abundantly illustrated book looks back on the history of Château Lafite Rothschild from its earliest days, scrutinizing the vineyard, the winemaking, the trade, tasting and especially the terroirs, with detailed descriptions of the soils in each plot of the estate, the surrounding area, fauna and flora. There is also a whole chapter devoted to gourmet cuisine and the delicate alchemy of food and wine combinations.
“Lafite has a soul, a beautiful, generous, kindly soul. Lafite turns bare earth into heaven. Lafite is harmony, harmony between man and nature. Without the men of Lafite, no great wines would be made, yet without the living breath of this unique piece of land, they could not excel.”
Le Baron Eric de Rothschild - Foreword
