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.
