“Bordeaux Collection, a little elegance everyday"
The vineyard
The aim of the COLLECTION: Set a benchmark style
Any wine from a family of wine producers with as high a reputation as Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) must represent the best of its kind in every appellation. Consequently, the wines in the Collection are made under the supervision of oenologist, Diane Flamand, with the same care and attention to detail as DBR (Lafite) gives to its Grands Vins.
The Pauillac and Médoc wines are produced from DBR Lafite’s own vineyards and from neighbouring vineyards. In the case of the two Bordeaux appellations, the technical team selects the vineyards and plots and supervises the vinification of the grapes from partner suppliers.
The red and white Bordeaux are made from selections of the finest production in the Entre Deux Mers region. As early as possible after fermentation, the DBR (Lafite) team selects the best batches of wine by successive blind tastings, enabling them not only to ensure top quality wine but also to control each stage of the winemaking and ageing. The aim, quite simply, is to produce top-quality wines, which truly reflect the DBR (Lafite) house style.
