About this wine
Carruades de Lafite (Second wine of Château Lafite) Pauillac
Château Lafite Rothschild’s celebrated second wine, Carruades de Lafite is named from plots acquired in 1845 just next to the vines on the Château hilltop and the final blend contains both declassified first growth fruit as well as a higher percentage of Merlot than the first wine; anywhere from 30-50% depending on the vintage. As a result, you get the elegance and persistence of Lafite but also a suppleness making it approachable when young but always with enough structure to warrant at least a decade of cellaring.

Medium-deep colour. Blackcurrant, raspberry praline mocha hint of violet aromas. Lovely cassis, dark chocolate flavours, classical finegrained tannins, very good mid-palate density and mineral length. Finishes al dente/ graphite firm. 55% cabernet sauvignon, 36% merlot, 5% cabernet franc, 4% petit verdot.
(94-95) points, The Vintage Journal (May 2022)
Expert Review
Antonio Galloni
The 2021 Carruades de Lafite is a dark, brooding wine. Dense and plush, with quite a bit of tannin presence, Carruades is quite distinctive in 2021. Blue/purplish fruit and floral notes show tremendous primary intensity. Bright acids on the finish add an attractive sense of freshness that is quite appealing. The 2021 is a serious Carruades.
