Beneath the vines, an ancient shore
From the Kimmeridgian soils of Chablis to the gravel of the Gironde, each of the Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite terroirs carries, in its own way, the memory of ancient seas.
Hook, line and Sauvignon
A day in a carrelet on the banks of the Gironde, some rather elusive prawns and two white wines to console ourselves: Blanc de Duhart-Milon 2024 and Château Paradis Casseuil Blanc 2024.
Assemblage: the travelling wine
A meandering journey of rivers, ports and people who carried wine through history.
Return to sender: a roundabout history of Retour des Indes
Some wines improve with age. These improved with mileage. The curious story of Retour des Indes.

Sumptuous shores
Our teams share their favourite places to eat. From beachside guinguettes to Bordeaux bistronomy, from the banks of the Garonne to the Corbières massif by way of Chablis, their recommendations will leave you hungry and itching to travel.
