Carruades de LafiteRothschild 2012
About this product
Château Lafite Rothschild’s celebrated second wine, Carruades de Lafite is named from plots acquired in 1845 just next to the vines on the Château hilltop and the final blend contains both declassified first growth fruit as well as a higher percentage of Merlot than the first wine; anywhere from 30-50% depending on the vintage. As a result, you get the elegance and persistence of Lafite but also a suppleness making it approachable when young but always with enough structure to warrant at least a decade of cellaring.

Deep colour. Intense black cherry, cassis aromas with dark chocolate, praline, herb notes. Well concentrated chocolaty palate with intense cassis praline flavours and looseknit graphite tannins. Finishes brambly firm but fruit carries to the close.
