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

Produttore
Château Lafite Rothschild
Tradizionale, elegante e leggendaria: sono solo alcune delle parole che possono descrivere la tenuta di Bordeaux più famosa del mondo, Château Lafite Rothschild. Di proprietà dei Domaines Barons de Rothschild sin dal XVIII secolo, la tenuta Premier Cru è rimasta "leader per i vini pregiati", producendo vini di altissima qualità per decenni. Tra i più grandi produttori del Pauillac, la tenuta possiede oltre 100 ettari di vigneti piantati per il 75% a Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% a Merlot, 4% a Cabernet Franc e solo per l'1% a Petit Verdot. Due terzi dei vigneti formano un solo grande appezzamento intorno allo Château, mentre il terzo rimanente si intreccia con quelli di Duhart-Milon. La rinomata azienda vitivinicola del Médoc produce un Grand Vin profumato ed espressivo, il Château Lafite Rothschild, che rappresenta l'essenza dell'armonia tra uomo e natura. Con lo stesso senso di raffinatezza, Les Carruades de Lafite Rothschild è prodotto con un contenuto maggiore di Merlot. Questo vino eccezionale è molto più ragguardevole di una seconda etichetta media. Entrambi i vini trascorrono da 15 a 20 anni di cantina, per raggiungere la massima omogeneità tra i potenti tannini e gli aromi di cedro e ribes nero.
