Every bottle from the estates of Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) is made with the same high standards, delivering wines of elegance and finesse. Whatever your wine needs this season, DBR has something unique for everyone:

CAROThe idea of forming a partnership between Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and the Catena family was born in 1999. Initial enthusiasm quickly became a concrete plan to produce wines that combine French and Argentine cultures and the two signature grapes of each producer: Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Catena family has produced wine for four generations in Argentina and, consequently, it was able to draw on its vast knowledge of the high-altitude terroirs of the Mendoza region as well as its passion for Malbec to find the best vineyards. DBR (Lafite) contributed its centuries-old skills in growing, vinifying and ageing great Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as its know-how in blending different grape varieties to produce one wine that is greater than the sum of its parts. The Lafite spirit from Argentina!

Bordeaux Châteaux PortfolioHere are four wines that couldn't be more different! All this because of a river wide enough to make the Bordeaux terroir tell dramatically different stories. Moulin de Duhart is your typical Left Bank wine, precise aromas of deep dark black fruits and cedar, arising from the magical gravelly soils you can only find in Pauillac. Cross the River and Blason de L’Evangile tells a whole other story on the Right Bank, boasting about its aromas of opulent fruit, velvety tannins and fresh berries that can only be produced on the clay plots one finds nestled in Pomerol. Meanwhile, Château Paradis Casseuil sits on top of a hill in the Entre Deux Mers and takes the best of both worlds with a careful juicy blend and just the right amount of aging. “R” de Rieussec is that dry white wine you’ll enjoy with both oysters (great pairing for the Feast of The Seven Fishes!) and even turkey because it has the right balance of richness and minerality, straight from the Sauternes Valley.
