Chateau Lafite Rothschild ‘Carruades de Lafite’ Pauillac 2004 in 75cl.
Carraudes de Lafite is the second wine of the iconic Chateau Lafite Rothschild. 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.
The blend is 50 to 70% Cabernet Sauvignon with 30 to 50% Merlot and sometimes a little Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot depending on vintage. The wine is aged 16 to 20 months, 80% in oak barrels (10% new).
Annual production approximately 20,000 cases.
The 2004 is 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.
