Artisan Craftsmanship

Anseillan is produced from the village of Anseillan, located just east of Château Lafite Rothschild, between the château and the Gironde. This region is known for its diverse terroirs, with cooler, more clayey soils that differ from the classic Lafite terroirs. The northern exposure of these vineyards makes the area unique, providing the wine with its distinct character. The Lafite teams’ meticulous work in these vineyards and cellars imparts a unique style to Anseillan, marked by its excellent complexity and balance.
