🏰 【A formidable Second Wine that tastes like a 'mini-Lafite', offering remarkable purity and precision from a balanced and precise vintage】. The 2019 Carruades de Lafite emerged from a vintage defined by balance and precision, with a mild spring, glorious summer, and a magnificently timed harvest. It features the highest amount of Cabernet Sauvignon in Carruades to date. This wine offers beautiful currant, tobacco, cedar pencil, and spicy nuances. It is elegant and fresh, with flowers, sweet, lifted red currants, red plums, tobacco leaf, and spicy cranberry notes. Medium-bodied, vibrant, crisp, and refined, with dark cherries and cassis intertwined with subtle cedar undertones and graphite-like minerality.
🍴 Pairs wonderfully with beef, classic meat dishes like veal, pork, lamb, duck, game, roasted chicken, and even Asian dishes or rich fish courses like tuna and salmon.
🥂 Drink from 2026-2040, this investment-worthy wine has promising maturation potential and the characteristic drinkability Lafite prides itself on.
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.
