Home » Competitions » Architecture Competition: Château Lafite Rothschild
Château Lafite Rothschild, whose vines are historically established in Pauillac for hundreds of years , has built its reputation on the excellence of its wine.

Today, the winemaking process and therefore the spatial organization of the vineyard buildings got to be restructured to be more coherent, precise, and to reply to new environmental challenges. In dialogue with the unique terroir facing it, the architectural project will aim to perpetuate the values of humility, respect for secular know-how, and protection of nature dear to Lafite.

The useful surface of the estate are going to be enlarged by 5000 m² and 6000 m² are going to be rehabilitated. The project will need to satisfy all the technical requirements of the vinification process and fit into the prevailing without ostentation.

Through this competition, Château Lafite Rothschild’s ambition is to engage in a resilient approach. Preserving the environment is an obvious priority in order to maintain the quality of its wine.
