Product Notes

Chateau Lafite Rothschild Carruades de Lafite Pauillac is a luxurious and prestigious wine that hails from the renowned Bordeaux region of France. This exquisite blend is crafted from a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes, resulting in a complex and full-bodied flavor profile. The wine is characterized by its deep ruby color, rich aromas of blackberries, cassis, and cedar, and a velvety smooth texture. With silky tannins and a long, lingering finish, Carruades de Lafite Pauillac is a true expression of elegance and sophistication. Perfect for special occasions or intimate gatherings, this wine is sure to impress even the most discerning of palates.

Tasting Notes

Beautiful dark red violet colour. Very appealing nose with notes of red fruit dominated by cherry. There are also notes of tobacco, which is quite unusual at this stage of the ageing process. On the palate, the wine quickly opens up, which is often the case for Les Carruades due to its higher proportion of Merlot. It rapidly develops a full-bodied character, with exceptional balance. The complementarity between the four grape varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) is perfect, offering a very pleasant, well-structured mid-palate. The finish brings refined, slightly salty, mineral notes.
