2023 Carruades de Lafite, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon; 40% Merlot.

This is a very Cabernet Sauvignon-driven wine, with the effect on structure and fruit one would expect. The range of different maturity dates (one of the keys to this vintage was choosing the right time to harvest each variety) undoubtedly adds complexity. There are sweet and juicy elements on the palate, but it is the precision of the Cabernet Sauvignon that drives the wine – plus the addition of fruit from the very fine Caudeyrac lieu-dit on the Lafite plateau.

Pauillac

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
