A breathtaking wine list
We’ve travelled across our estates to curate a list of the finest vintages to uncork in 2024.
Meteorology: the science of uncertainty
Weather: a lesson in humility, from folk wisdom to algorithms.
Whether guided by folk wisdom or modern forecasting models, farmers and winegrowers are searching for the same thing: a glimpse of what lies ahead. The weather, however, rarely offers certainty.
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.
Between two tides
Between two rivers and two crises, Entre-deux-Mers, a wine region with a mosaic identity, is finding in its diversity the means to reinvent itself.
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.
Game of shores
A hydrographic guessing game. Can you identify the river, sea or ocean behind seven Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite estates?
Umami city: Rieussec in London
A fish restaurant, a gelateria and a cheesemonger each explore umami in their own way. Château Rieussec joins them at the table for a series of delicious conversations.
Must you taste it to believe it?
A tasting game to test your convictions…and your intuition.
Match the right sensations to each stage of tasting. Between oenological precision and misleading clues, can you tell what’s what?
Biodynamics: from belief to evidence
In conversation with Manuela de Lachapelle, Head of R&D at Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite.
As Head of R&D at Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite, Manuela de Lachapelle explores what biodynamics, backed by evidence, brings to the resilience of Bordeaux estates and the redefinition of the winegrower’s craft.
Terroir beyond dogma
Adapting our understanding of terroir for a warming climate.
Olivier Trégoat, Technical Director for Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite, argues for a more flexible understanding of terroir, one freed from rigid dogma, to adapt to the realities of climate change.
