Château Lafite-Rothschild Carruades de Lafite 2021 is a Left Bank Bordeaux from the celebrated Lafite-Rothschild First Growth in Pauillac. Carruades de Lafite is the much-admired second wine of the estate. The 2021 is an assemblage of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. This marks the first year of organic conversion for the estate`s vineyards. "A strong effort that demonstrates how much progress this bottling has made over the last 10 to 15 years, the 2021 Carruades de Lafite exhibits aromas of sweet berries, pencil shavings, warm spices and nicely integrated oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and impressively intense, it`s seamless and refined, delivering plenty of Lafite character." William Kelley, 2022
