The history of the Lafite vineyard is very old. On an estate which already had vine plants, Jacques de Ségur structured the vineyard at the end of the 17th century and the reputation of this wine was already established at a good level. His son Alexandre extended the domain of the Château Lafite Rothschild by marrying the heiress of Latour in 1695. From this union was born Nicolas-Alexandre, who built the prestige and fame of Lafite at the beginning of the 18th century, the wine being acclaimed in Versailles and already across the Channel.
Upon the death of the latter, Lafite experienced a succession of owners, it was notably sold at auction after the Revolution, but the quality was achieved at the highest level thanks to the care of its managers, the family of Joseph Goudal. Château Lafite will thus be classified 1er cru in 1855.
In 1868, Baron James de Rothschild acquired, at auction again, the estate which has since remained the property of his family. Apart from its exceptional terroir (deep gravel soil, resting on marls and a limestone subsoil), the quality is explained in particular by the average age of the vineyard (more than 40 years), a low yield at per hectare and a very strict selection. In the 1960s and 1970s, the wines were found to be of lower quality, due to less strict management of the estate and the winemaking process.
