CARRUADES DE LAFITE 2017
The second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild (First Growth of Pauillac), Carruades de Lafite has characteristics close to the Grand Vin with its own personality linked to a higher proportion of Merlot and specific plots for the production of Carruades. The origin of the name comes from the "Plateau des Carruades", name of a set of parcels adjoining the rounded hilltop of the Château and was acquired in 1845.
The 2017 vintage is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.
