Carruades de Lafite

Carruades de Lafite is a fantastic wine, and one that won't reduce your cash balance to nothing! It also has the added advantage of being enjoyable to drink now; with a silky, elegant and complex palate, harnessed very nicely by a slab of acidity and fine tannins. On the nose it is perfumed, with tropical hints.

As part of Chateau Lafite Rothschild, the wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, but also with a large proportion of Merlot (around 40-50%), and small quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The estate is located in Pauillac on the left bank in Bordeaux. The wine will age for 10 - 15 years, and is comfortably of 2nd or 3rd Growth quality.

Second wines offer great value for money; their quality far outweighs the price and this is without doubt a great opportunity to experience wines made by the greatest wine estates in the world. Chateau Lafite's ruthless selection of grapes has meant that many vines that could easily provide fruit for the grand vin are now allocated to make the Carruades. This is a fine claret of tremendous purity which reflects Lafite's tell-tale elegance.
