This is a beautiful Carraudes with currant, sweet-tobacco and wet-earth aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with a dense center-palate and tight, polished tannins. Fresh, with tension. Reminds me of the 1995 Lafite. This is so Lafite in character. It shows so much cabernet sauvignon character. It’s 68% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot and the rest cabernet franc. Try after 2026.

The 2019 Carruades de Lafite is rich and expansive, bursting with aromas of ripe berries, violets, spice box, cedar and cassis. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's broad and generous, with a more exotic, extravagant profile than the grand vin but also levels of concentration and character that exceed what was the case a decade ago. In recent years, Lafite has actually ripped up parcels that routinely never made it into the grand vin—and the grand vin now includes more and more Cabernet Sauvignon. Even if Carruades now contains less Merlot than was historically the case (27% in 2019), I suspect it's benefiting from the inclusion of Merlot that would have formerly made it into the assemblage of Lafite itself.

Direct, offering dark currant and black cherry paste flavors, with cedar, warm earth, iron and savory accents. This has a cedary edge that asserts itself on the finish, which has a grainy edge. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2030. — JM

Château Lafite Rothschild
Traditionnel, élégant et légendaire. Voilà décrit en quelques mots, le château bordelais à la réputation mondiale la plus affirmée, le Château Lafite Rothschild. Appartenant aux Domaines Barons de Rothschild depuis le 18ème siècle, cette propriété classée Premier Grand Cru peut à juste titre se targuer d’être le « leader des vins fins » car il élabore des cuvées de haute volée depuis des décennies. Ses vignobles, d’une superficie de plus de 100 hectares, en font l’un des producteurs de Pauillac les plus importants : 75% de cabernet-sauvignon, 20% de merlot, 4% de cabernet franc et un petit 1% de petit verdot y ont élu domicile. Les deux-tiers des vignes forment une seule parcelle encerclant le château, l’autre tiers étant imbriqué dans celles de Duhart-Milon. Dans l’illustre chai médocain, un grand vin parfumé à l’âme expressive voit le jour, le Château Lafite Rothschild traduisant à merveille la symbiose entre l’homme et la nature. Empreint du même esprit de distinction, Les Carruades de Lafite Rothschild a davantage recours au merlot, donnant naissance à un vin exceptionnel qui en impose bien plus que la plupart des seconds vins. Les deux cuvées se bonifient avec 15 à 20 ans de garde ; en résulte alors un mariage parfait entre la puissance des tanins et les arômes de cèdre et de cassis.
