THE VISION OF AN ENTREPRENEUR The passion for wine that runs in the French branch of the Rothschild family was born in 1868 when James de Rothschild purchased Château Lafite.

His great-grandson, Edmond de Rothschild, began a new chapter in the family adventure in 1973 by acquiring two crus bourgeois in Listrac and Moulis-en-Médoc appellations of Bordeaux: Château Clarke and Château Malmaison.

The Compagnie Vinicole Baron Edmond de Rothschild was born.

Today, the vineyard covers 150 hectares and represents one of the largest property in the Médoc.

A NEW IMPETUS In 1997, Benjamin & Ariane de Rothschild gave a dramatic boost to the Compagnie Vinicole by exploring new terroirs around the globe.

Determined to apply traditional French expertise while maintaining local winegrowing practices, they created joint-ventures with families that possessed the same entrepreneurial spirit and love of wine.

South Africa, then Argentina and finally New-Zealand. Vines planted around the world in virgin lands are now the source of internationally famous wines.
