    Owner and history

    Three parcels comprise the estate's vineyard. The 114 hectares of Château Lafite-Rothschild are located in Pauillac, on soil composed of windblown sand and deep gravel with a subsoil of Tertiary limestone. The grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon (71%), Merlot (25%), Cabernet Franc (3%), and Petit Verdot (1%) are cultivated primarily on the Carruades plateau and are used to produce their second wine.
