One of the most famous - as well as one of the most expensive - wines in the world, Chateau Lafite Rothschilds history dates back to 1235, by which time, it is believed, the vines were already planted and thriving. Nearly 1,000 years later it still retains the name of its then-owner Gombaud de Lafite. It wasnt until 1868 that the Rothschilds came to become the Chateaus owners, after it was sold at public auction in Paris - and it remains in their hands today. Producing an elegant Paulliac wine, Chateau Lafite is renowned for its characteristic blend of rich dark fruit with spicy, savoury and earthy notes of cassis, tobacco, and truffle. The 2016 earned sterling reviews, with James Suckling scoring it a perfect 100 and speculating on its standing as Perhaps the greatest Lafite since the legendary 1959.

Maker Domaine Sylvain Cathiard is one of Burgundy’s most revered and meticulously run estates. The domaine traces its roots back to Sylvain Cathiard’s grandfather, who founded the estate in the 1930s, with Sylvain’s father, André, expanding it further. In 1985, Sylvain took over the domaine, followed by the addition of his son, Sebastien, in 2006. Today, Sebastien runs the domaine, having built upon the legacy of his forefathers, and brings a fresh perspective that has elevated the domaine’s wines to global recognition. The estate spans 5 hectares across Burgundy’s most prestigious appellations, including Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, and a small parcel in Romanée-St-Vivant, one of Burgundy's rarest Grand Cru sites. Sebastien and his wife, along with a small dedicated team, carry out all vineyard work with meticulous care. The domaine practices organic viticulture, although they have not sought formal certification. Sebastien’s hands-off approach to winemaking respects the natural processes, employing native yeasts for fermentation and aging the wines in oak barrels sourced from Tonellerie Remond and François Frères. These wines are celebrated for their harmony, precision, and exceptional ability to age, offering a unique expression of Burgundy’s terroir. Philosophy Sebastien Cathiard’s philosophy is rooted in his deep respect for the land and the natural expression of each vineyard. His approach to winemaking is one of minimal intervention—letting the fruit speak for itself. The wines are de-stemmed entirely, cold-macerated, and fermented using indigenous yeasts. Sebastien emphasizes the importance of oak in shaping the character of the wine, using a judicious balance of new and one-year-old barrels to provide structure without overwhelming the fruit. None of his wines are fined or filtered, allowing them to maintain purity and clarity. His commitment to producing wines of elegance, balance, and precision has earned Domaine Sylvain Cathiard a reputation as one of Burgundy’s top producers. Sebastien’s goal is to craft wines that reflect the unique characteristics of each terroir, capturing both the power and subtlety of the vineyard. This philosophy has resulted in wines that are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, with a limited production ensuring their exclusivity and desirability.
