Carruades de Lafite 1992 Pauillac

Pauillac - Second Wine
€190.00 tax excl. (IB)

The second wine of the famous Château Lafite Rothschild enjoys an excellent, well-deserved reputation. Its appellation comes from the "plateau des Carruades" plots acquired in 1985, adjacent to the estate. This wine is mainly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon (up to 70% depending on the year), with a significant proportion of Merlot (between 30% and 50% depending on the vintage) and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Aged for 18 to 20 months in the same barrels as the château's main wine from the previous year, it displays impressive concentration and remarkable aromatic complexity. Although very tannic in its youth, its solid structure allows for prolonged aging. This wine surpasses many other Médoc crus classés in quality.

Château Lafite-Rothschild

Château Lafite-Rothschild, Pauillac - The Quintessential Excellence of the First Growth

Château Lafite-Rothschild is one of the most prestigious names in Bordeaux wine and a symbol of exceptional winemaking. Located in Pauillac on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, this First Growth from the 1855 classification is renowned for its unparalleled elegance, complexity, and exceptional aging potential.

Primarily crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, with significant proportions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, Château Lafite-Rothschild presents an outstanding aromatic bouquet. On the palate, it reveals enchanting aromas of ripe black fruits, cassis, and cherry, complemented by delicate notes of cedar, tobacco, and leather. The wine is distinguished by its elegant structure, fine, velvety tannins, and a long, sophisticated finish, marked by remarkable freshness and profound minerality.

Château Lafite-Rothschild is a prime example of a wine with extraordinary aging potential, improving beautifully over several decades, developing even more complex aromas and a more refined texture with time. It pairs perfectly with refined dishes such as grilled beef, game, or aged cheeses. This grand cru is a must-have for enthusiasts of wines of exceptional quality.
