The 2018 Carruades de Lafite is a blend of 56.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 5.5% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes skipping out of the glass with bright, cheery scents of redcurrant jelly, blackcurrant pastilles and Morello cherries with hints of candied violets, pencil shavings, menthol and crushed rocks. Medium-bodied and elegantly styled, with layers of crunchy red and black fruits, it has a beautifully ripe, fine-grained texture and loads of freshness, finishing long and mineral laced.
A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc and aged for 18 months in barrels, 10% new, the 2015 Carruades de Lafite is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and just a little closed at this youthful stage, revealing delicate notes of red and black plums, black cherries and dried herbs plus touches of pencil lead, cedar chest and beef drippings. Medium-bodied, refreshing and with a well-played chewy texture, although just a baby in terms of evolution, it has an accessible structure, finishing long and savory.
The 2011 Carruades de Lafite is composed of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Soft berry fruit, underbrush, fresh herb and bay leaf characteristics as well as soft tannins, a velvety texture, and a medium-bodied, slightly superficial, but satisfying style suggest this 2011 should be consumed over the next 10-15 years.
Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Carruades de Lafite charges out of the gate with bold scents of baked plums and boysenberries followed by hints of menthol, tobacco leaf, cloves and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers a well-poised frame of ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness supporting the savory flavors, finishing with a spicy kick.
Of course, the wine to buy in order to get a look at the Lafite Rothschild style and personality is their second wine, Carruades de Lafite, which has become very fashionable in Asia, causing the prices to soar. A very strong effort, the 2009 Carruades de Lafite may be the finest Carruades since the 2003. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and tiny amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it reveals lots of sweet cassis intermixed with subtle smoke and forest floor, undeniable lusciousness and full-bodied hedonism. The wood component is pushed to the background, and the wine is extremely viscous, round and delicious. Additional complexity should continue to emerge over the next decade and this 2009 should keep for 20-30 years.
The second wine, which has soared in quality over the last decade, is an outstanding effort displaying a character similar to that of Lafite, without the size, depth, and aging potential of that wine. The 2006 Carruades de Lafite offers up aromas of graphite, cedar, black currants, sweet cherries, and smoky herbs. This complex, more evolved, medium-bodied, silky-textured, sexy offering will provide plenty of pleasure over the next 15+ years.
Their second wine, the 2005 Carruades de Lafite, shows much of the character of its bigger sister, with loads of red and black currant fruit, spice box and earth. Medium-bodied, with soft tannins, this precise, pure and seductive wine should be drunk over the next 15-20 years.
A brilliant second wine, the 2000 Carruades de Lafite (51.4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42.3% Merlot, 4.9% Cabernet Franc, and 1.4% Petit Verdot), aged in 10-15% new French oak, shows wonderfully sweet lead pencil shavings intermixed with an elegant black cherry and cassis nose. A wine of tremendous purity, medium body, and the tell-tale Lafite elegance, this is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next 12-15 years.

Named Lafite since at least as early as 1234, this enigmatic celebrity of a Bordeaux château has been owned by the Rothschild family since 1868.

I have discovered the wine of Château Lafite to be a delicious, generous cordial, comparable to the ambrosia of the Gods of Olympus” Maréchal de Richelieu (1755)

Ranked as the very best of the Premiers Grands Crus Classés in 1855, Lafite has been one of the world’s most expensive red wines ever since. On the hill just north of Pauillac, with the land around the stream given over to a beautiful park and gardens, the Lafite property is just as pretty as its wines.

“Lafite has a soul, a beautiful, generous, kindly soul. Lafite turns bare earth into heaven. Lafite is harmony, a harmony between man and nature, because without our magnificent winegrowers, nothing would be accomplished.” Baron Eric de Rothschild

One of the largest Médoc estates, the vineyards are planted with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot and have an average age of 39 years old. One peculiarity of Lafite is that a small, but very highly prized, vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon vines is not actually in Pauillac at all, but in the adjoining commune of St Estèphe. The wine from this parcel almost always ends up in the Grand Vin, but the property has a special exemption allowing this cross-border labelling.

The volumes of the Grand Vin vary according to the vintages, but is often less than half the total crop with 20,000 cases made. The second wine, Carraudes de Lafite, has a slightly higher percentage of Merlot and is therefore more approachable in youth.

A REMARKABLE DECADE AROUND THE YEAR 2000. The remarkable vintages follow one another, favored by a rather dry climate during the vegetative period. Among the 2000, 2003, heat wave year, 2005, 2009 and 2010, the weather will make its stars.

Bordeaux i det sydvestlige Frankrig behøver ikke megen introduktion som en af verdens mest berømte, prestigefyldte og produktive vinregioner. Størstedelen af Bordeaux-vinene (næsten 90 procent af produktionsmængden) er de tørre, mellemfyldige og fyldige røde Bordeaux-blandinger, som har skabt områdets ry.

De fineste (og dyreste) af disse er vinene fra de store slotte i Haut-Médoc og appellationsområderne Saint-Émilion og Pomerol på højre bred. Førstnævnte er fokuseret (på topniveau) på Cabernet Sauvignon, sidstnævnte par på Merlot.

De legendariske rødvine suppleres af hvidvine af høj kvalitet baseret på Sémillon og Sauvignon Blanc. Disse spænder fra tørre hvide, der kan udfordre de bedste fra Bourgogne-regionen (Pessac-Léognan er særligt berømt), til de søde, botrytiserede nektarer fra Sauternes.

Pauillac er en vin-appellation i Médoc-regionen i Bordeaux, Frankrig. Den er kendt for at producere nogle af de fineste rødvine i verden med et ry for elegance, kompleksitet og lang holdbarhed. Pauillac er hjemsted for nogle af de mest berømte slotte i Bordeaux, bl.a. Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour og Château Mouton Rothschild.

Historien om vinfremstilling i Pauillac går tilbage til romertiden, men det var først i det 17. århundrede, at regionen begyndte at blive anerkendt for sine vine. Hollænderne var de første til at se potentialet i Pauillac-vinene, og de begyndte at importere dem til deres hjemland i store mængder. I det 18. århundrede blev Pauillac-vine populære i England, og de blev snart eksporteret til andre dele af Europa og verden.

Produktionsstilen i Pauillac er traditionel med fokus på kvalitet frem for kvantitet. Vinmarkerne er plantet på grusjord, som giver fremragende dræning og reflekterer varmen tilbage på vinstokkene, hvilket hjælper med at modne druerne. Druerne, der dyrkes i Pauillac, er overvejende Cabernet Sauvignon med mindre mængder Merlot, Cabernet Franc og Petit Verdot. Vinene lagres typisk på egetræsfade i 18-24 måneder, hvilket giver kompleksitet og dybde til det endelige produkt.

De typiske vine fra Pauillac er fyldige med intense aromaer af solbær, brombær og cedertræ. De er kendt for deres faste tanniner, som giver vinene struktur og lang levetid. Pauillac-vine beskrives ofte som havende en karakter af "blyant" eller "grafit", hvilket er et resultat af den grusede jordbund, hvor druerne dyrkes. Vinene er også kendt for deres evne til at ældes med ynde, og nogle af de bedste årgange holder i årtier.

Pauillac er en vin-appellation med en rig historie og et ry for at producere nogle af de fineste rødvine i verden. Den traditionelle produktionsstil, den grusede jordbund og fokus på kvalitet frem for kvantitet bidrager alle til Pauillac-vinenes unikke karakter. Hvis du er på udkig efter en vin med elegance, kompleksitet og lang levetid, skal du ikke lede længere end til Pauillac.
