First among the 1855 Bordeaux classified growths, Château Lafite-Rothschild is a lord on its gravelly land. The bearer of a long winegrowing tradition that began in 1620, it has asserted itself over the centuries as a veritable standard bearer of the Pauillac appellation on the left bank of the Bordeaux region. Indeed, from the Cardinal of Richelieu to the President of the United States of America at the time, Thomas Jefferson, the great personalities of the world have fallen under the spell of these great wines with their unique soul and unparalleled refinement.

Château Lafite Rothschild benefits from an exceptional location with a vineyard divided into three main areas. The Carruades plateau is located to the west of the estate on fine gravel and sand soils on limestone subsoils.

The wine

Carruades de Lafite, Château Lafite-Rothschild’s Second Wine, is a major name among Pauillac wines.

Blend

Carruades de Lafite 2022 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (53%), Merlot (40%), Cabernet Franc (4%) and Petit Verdot (3%).

The second wine of Lafite checks in as 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. This smoking good second wine has more than a little Lafite character and offers ample red and black fruits, notes of tobacco, graphite, and leafy herbs, medium to full-bodied richness, silky, polished tannins, and a great finish. As with the Grand Vin, it's concentrated, powerful, and flawlessly balanced.

The 2022 Carruades de Lafite is a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs a swirl or two to reveal evocative notes of blackcurrant jelly, black raspberries, and Morello cherries, plus suggestions of iris bulb, tilled soil, and crushed cloves. The medium-bodied palate is typically elegant, minerally, and refreshing, with firm, fine-grained tannins to provide support, and a long, lifted finish.

Aromas of sweet cherries and berries mingled with hints of cedar box, loamy soil, warm spices, violets and orange zest introduce the 2022 Carruades de Lafite, a medium to full-bodied, bright and velvety blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.
