Lafitte winery (Ch? Teaulafite) was founded in 1763. Located on the first slope of Bordeaux, the winery was named after its highland on the right bank of the Garonne River: the word lafitte meant "mountain" at that time.
Since 1868, lafitte Winery has been selected as the second edition of the Fete Guide; Guide is a famous Bordeaux wine selection magazine, which enjoys a high reputation in history.
About 100 years later, Juliette Mengin, a powerful businesswoman, became interested in lafitte Winery and its red wine, so she decided to buy this winery. She put all her energy and money into the construction of wine cellar, which is very important for preserving red wine and planting selected grape seedlings. This winery is managed by her grandson Philip Menkin. He is a young and modern wine craftsman, who inherited the indomitable quality of Milla family and defended the family famous Bordeaux red wine.
Philippe Mengin said that Lafite Rothschild Winery aims to prohibit us from using French Lafite Winery (ch? The purpose of the trademark teau Lafitte has been pestering us for ten years. After a long judicial process, French courts at all levels have made a decision to allow us to use lafitte Winery (ch? Teau Lafitte) this trademark; In the end, the French Supreme Court also ruled that ch? The trademark Teau Lafitte is completely owned by us legally.
Afterwards, the Bordeaux Wine Office suggested that we register our trademark in China, and Lafite Rothschild Winery followed suit in China, trying to prevent us from using our trademark in China and from selling it in China.
We have the support of the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of China, and we can believe that the Trademark Office of China will make a reasonable and legal ruling on the basis of the established French judgment. Just like in France, right? Teaulafite trademark and Ch? Teau Lafite Rothschild trademark should coexist in China.
We are well aware that our contacts and financial resources are not as good as those of Lafite Rothschild Winery, which has been pestering us, but we hope that more people in China can understand the reason why Lafite Rothschild Winery sued us unreasonably. We also hope that Lafite Rothschild Winery can finally be reasonable, obey the established judgment of the French court and recognize us as ch? Teau Lafitte's trademark right is much earlier than Lafite Rothschild winery's history.
We must not be unable to safeguard our legal rights because our economic strength is inferior to each other!
Winery history
The name Lafite comes from the French dialect "la hite" in the south of the Middle Ages, which means "hill".
Lafite winery was founded by a nobleman named Lafite in 1354, and it was already quite famous in14th century. 1675, she was acquired by J. D. Segur, the world's number one wine producer at that time. At that time, Xi Gang was all-powerful in the wine industry. He also owns the top historical names Zhuang Latu, Akebia and Khyron family. King Louis XIV of France once said that the Xigang family may be the richest family in France. /kloc-in the 0/7th century, Burgundy wine was the main wine in France. Bombardier, the mistress of Louis XV, a famous socialite at that time, had a soft spot for Lafite. Lafite often became the cup of Versailles nobles. After the death of the third generation head of Xigang family 1755, Lafite's property rights entered a rather chaotic historical period. But the quality of Lafite wine is still not disappointing. It was not until 1868 that Baron James Rothschild won the bid for 4.4 million francs in a public auction. The family has owned Lafite until now, and has been able to maintain the quality of Lafite and the reputation of the world's top wines to this day. The current owner Eric Rothschild, Baron Eric Rothschild, took office in 1974, and his innovation and painstaking efforts made Lafite wine get rid of the ordinary in the sixties and seventies and reach the peak again.
