Carruades de Lafite is created from grapes sourced from the younger vines of the Château Lafite Rothschild vineyards, as well as from specific parcels that do not meet the strict criteria for inclusion in the Grand Vin. Despite being the second wine, Carruades de Lafite still upholds the reputation and quality associated with the Lafite Rothschild estate. The 2022 vintage is a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. On the nose, expect aromas of blackberries, woody herbs and a touch of menthol. The palate is generous and juicy, marked by a refreshing acidity and a savoury, stony aftertaste.
