The elegance and aromatic richness of a Second Wine from Pauillac
The property
Ranked first among the crus of the famous 1855 classification, the Château Lafite-Rothschild embodies the viticultural nobility on its gravel lands. With a tradition initiated as early as 1620, this exceptional estate has established itself over the centuries as one of the greatest symbols of the Pauillac appellation, on the left bank of the Bordeaux vineyard. Prestigious figures, from Cardinal de Richelieu to American President Thomas Jefferson, have succumbed to the irresistible charm and incomparable elegance of these wines of soul and prestige.
The vineyard
Château Lafite-Rothschild benefits from a remarkable terroir, divided into three main areas. To the west of the estate, the Carruades plateau extends over fine gravel soils mixed with sand, resting on a limestone subsoil that promotes optimal drainage and a harmonious expression of the grape varieties.
The wine
Second wine of Château Lafite-Rothschild, Carruades de Lafite establishes itself as an essential reference among the wines of Pauillac, seducing with its finesse, aromatic intensity and elegance.
Blend
Cabernet sauvignon (45 %), merlot (47 %), cabernet franc (6 %) and petit verdot (2%).
