N215: The Podcast
Inspired by the road that criss-crosses the Médoc, N215: The Podcast has been designed by Les Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite as a rendezvous that sheds a technical light on the winegrowing themes that fascinate us. Each episode of the podcast will have a dedicated theme, decoded by our winemakers through their experiences and anecdotes.

At the roots of Château Lafite Rothschild
A FICTION OF THE FIRST DAY OF BARON JAMES DE ROTHSCHILD IN PAUILLAC
On September 7, 1868, Le Constitutionnel wrote: “Baron James de Rothschild has left Paris for Château Laffitte, Médoc, which he has just acquired.” After that? We asked the novelist and poet Bernard Chambaz to slip into the shoes – and mind – of the Baron.
Assemblage
A short cut through some scenic roots
Different notes from different folks, tugged from the earth of the same theme, where we hope each sip has a certain body…

A Family History
