About Edmond de Rothschild Heritage Bordeaux wine properties:
The history of the Rothschilds really started in the middle of the 18th century when Mayer Amschel Rothschild became well-known as a businessman. He sent his five sons to five European Cities to set up branches. Rothschild establishments became a legend¡ The passion to create and innovate has been handed down for more than 250 years within the Rothschild family. The prestige of this now legendary name shines in numerous fields: finance, philanthropy, wine making, science, fine arts, sailing¡ Each generation continues to enrich a family heritage that brings together modernity and elegance.
The passion for wine that runs in the French branch of the Rothschild family was born in 1868 when James de Rothschild purchased Chateau Lafite. Baron Edmond de Rothschild, current EDR group president Benjamin¡¯s father, began a new chapter in the family adventure in 1973 by acquiring two Crus Bourgeois: Chateau Clarke and Chateau Malmaison.
In the Bordeaux Region, Baron Benjamin de Rothschild discovered a property with remarkable potential, acquiring the superb Chateau des Laurets in the Saint-Emilion region in 2003. Today, Benjamin and his wife Ariane, among other members of the family, are also a major shareholder of the legendary First Growth estate, Chateau Lafite-Rothschild.
Chateau Clarke dates back to the 12th century, with monks originally tending the vines. After the purchase in 1973 by the Baron Edmond de Rothschild, the estate underwent full re-planting and expansion to 55 hectares. The wines produced today enjoy widespread prestige, high ratings, and enviable tasting notes, thanks, in part, to the extensive modernization overseen by Edmond de Rothschild¡¯s son, Benjamin.
Also, on the left bank, and neighboring Chateau Clarke, Edmond de Rothschild purchased Chateau Malmaison. The vineyards were restored to its former glory, and the Baron named the wine after his spouse, the elegant Baroness Nadine de Rothschild, who created an enchanting garden there where roses and jacarandas have pride of place.
On the right bank, acquired more recently in 2003, the 19th century Chateau des Laurets overlooks 40 hectares of vines growing on a soil consisting of clay and limestone rock. Chateau des Laurets is a classic Merlot-Cabernet Franc blend from the St Emilion area. Already seen as a leader in its appellation, the Chateau is rapidly becoming a benchmark of quality for the AOC.
