Carruades de Lafite 2016│700ml

DESCRIPTION

Château Lafite Rothschild’s second wine, Carruades de Lafite presents similar characteristics to the Grand Vin, but with its own personality linked to a higher proportion of Merlot and to specific plots that are used to produce Carruades. The name comes from the Carruades plateau, a group of plots acquired in 1845 just next to the vines on the Château hilltop.

TASTING NOTES

Colour: Wonderful dense, shiny color.
Nose: red fruit with pleasant smoky notes.
Palate: a clean, precise attack; the wine then becomes denser and lengthens in the mid Taste. Very well-balanced and somewhat lively, with a silky finish.
