COLLECTION BARON DE ROTHSCHILD (LAFITE)

SALES MANAGER
• The Domaine's cooperage is located at Pauillac • By Médoc tradition, there has always been a
cooperage at Lafite• The current team is composed of five barrel
makers who work year round to produce 2,000 barrels, used in the various properties of the group
• Oak wood is selected in the great Allier and Nivernais forests, then left to dry in the open air for two years at Lafite, before being crafted
• This independence allows to control the geographical origin of the wood, the quality of its drying, as well as char during assembly, which can confer a specific taste to the wine, depending on its quality
