🏰 The 1992 Carruades de Lafite, the second wine of the esteemed Château Lafite Rothschild, hails from a challenging vintage in Bordeaux. While 1992 was not a standout year for the region, Carruades de Lafite still benefits from the exceptional terroir and winemaking expertise of its parent estate. This wine is primarily a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, known for its impressive body and potential for aging. Despite the vintage's difficulties, it can offer complex aromas and a refined tannic structure. 【 拉菲副牌的卓越聲譽 】
🍴 Carruades de Lafite is best paired with classic meat dishes such as veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, or game. It also complements roasted, braised, and grilled dishes, as well as rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
🥂 This wine is suitable for a sophisticated dinner party or a special occasion where a mature Bordeaux is desired. It can also be a thoughtful gift for a wine collector or an anniversary celebration, offering a glimpse into the Lafite Rothschild lineage.
The grapes are harvested from vineyards on the Carruades plateau, adjacent to the Château Lafite flagship vineyards, sharing similar terroir.
The winery selects only one-third of its wine each year for the Lafite flagship, using the remainder for Carruades.
The Lafite flagship is aged in 100% new barrels, which are then used for Carruades the following year.
In the early 20th century, Carruades de Lafite Rothschild became a bestseller after export, gaining more fame than the Lafite flagship. Some sommeliers promoted Carruades de Lafite as a special wine above the Lafite flagship. To correct this unintentional error, the winery renamed Carruades de Lafite to Moulin des Carruades until the 1980s, when they decided to revert to Carruades de Lafite Rothschild...
The 1974 Château Lafite mentioned in an article published in the February 13, 1978 issue of New York Magazine... Rothschild's second label is called Moulin des Carruades.
