took charge (1946) of the family wine estate Château Lafite Rothschild, which had been confiscated during the World War II Nazi occupation of France, and restored the château and its wine to their former grandeur. Rothschild and his elder brother, Baron Alain (died 1982), were serving in the cavalry when the war broke out; they were both captured and spent several years in German prison camps, separately and—later—together. After the war the family entrusted Rothschild with the reconstruction of the reclaimed Lafite estate. He restored the neglected vineyards and buildings, rebuilt Lafite's finances, and released acclaimed vintages in 1947, 1949, 1955, 1959, and 1961. As a cofounder (1950) of the Commanderie du Bontemps Médoc guild, he actively promoted Bordeaux wines around the world. In 1974 he retired and turned over Lafite management to his brother's son, Baron Eric. Rothschild also held a share in the family banking interests under the direction of his cousin Baron Guy de Rothschild (
