Carruades de Lafite 2021 — the elegant second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild.
Carruades de Lafite is the second wine of the illustrious Château Lafite Rothschild, offering the estate's Pauillac terroir and craftsmanship at a more accessible level. The 2021 is approachable in its youth yet built to age, reflecting the same commitment to quality that defines Lafite.
Elegant and structured, with a harmonious blend of dark fruit intertwined with graphite, tobacco and a touch of spice. Fine-grained tannins give balance and age-worthiness, leading to a long, refined finish.
