Carruades de Lafite is het tweede wijnmerk van Château Lafite Rothschild, gelegen in Pauillac op steengruis‑gravelbods met tertiair kalk. De wijngaarden omvatten jongere percelen op de hoger gelegen terrassen, met gemiddelde leeftijd tussen 15 en 25 jaar.
Youthfully reticent, but warm and polished in feel, with a large core of cassis, raspberry and cherry puree notes lying in wait for now. Threads of red licorice, warm stone and singed mesquite and cedar emerge steadily through the lengthy finish as the fruit unwinds slowly.
