Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite is a close family of wine estates, each diverse in terroir and distinct in character, but all sharing in the same spirit. Firmly rooted in the very soil it cultivates, and dedicated to the art of exemplary winemaking since their first day at Château Lafite Rothschild in 1868, the DBR Lafite family has grown to include Château Duhart-Milon (Grand Cru Classé in Pauillac), Château Rieussec (Premier Grand Cru Classé in Sauternes), Château L’Évangile (Pomerol), Château Paradis Casseuil, as well as range of Bordeaux wines – Les Légendes R. Beyond the Bordeaux region, the family extends to Viña Los Vascos (Chile, 1988), Domaine d’Aussières (Languedoc, 1999), Bodegas CARO (Argentina, 1999), Domaine de Long Dai, in the Shandong region of China (2008) and Domaine William Fèvre (Chablis, 2024). With a sensitivity to each terroir’s unique demands, DBR Lafite champions a shared commitment to working hand in hand with the land that gives rise to each of its wines and has been certified B Corp in 2024.

It all began in 2009, in a tiny workshop in Hammersmith, London. Our Founders, Sam, Fairfax and Jared had an unwavering belief in things well made - the way they used to be, the way they should be. Their mission was simple - to bring a London Dry Gin of truly uncompromising quality and character back to the city where it first earned its name. Smooth enough for a Martini, bold enough for a G&T, our London Dry Gin is truly something to behold. Every bottle of Sipsmith is hand crafted in genuinely small batches. Every drop of every batch is lovingly laboured over by hand, by our dedicated Distillers. No regimented timings, no automatic cuts, just a craftsman’s flair and a passion for gin well made. We believe this is the only way to craft spirits of this quality. We have since added to our collection a selection of our talented distillers' most delicious experimental gins, all inspired by our London Dry recipe, such as our Lemon Drizzle Gin and Sloe Gin. Each hand crafted gin is lovingly laboured in small batches in our London Distillery – the way it used to be, the way we believe it should be.
