About Carruades de Lafite 2000
Bottle (75cl)

The second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild, the famous Premier Cru Classé de l' AOC Pauillac, Carruades de Lafite is a continuation of its eldest, with a higher proportion of Merlot.
The name Carruades de Lafite comes from the location of its vineyard, a group of parcels located on the Carruades plateau, at the doorstep of the Domaine de Lafite Rothschild.

The Carruades vineyard benefits from a grape variety mainly made up of Cabernet Sauvignon (71%), the rest of the surface receiving Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot vines (25%, 3% and 1% respectively).

The Carruades de Lafite Rothschild 2000 has an intense ruby red colour.
On the nose, Carruades 2000 offers a sublime bouquet, full of fresh fruits ranging from blackcurrant to black cherry, interspersed with woody notes and hints of milk chocolate and vanilla.
On the palate, it reveals an incredible freshness and develops with each sip. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced, it develops its fruity aromas as time passes. More blackcurrant, more cherry, all wrapped in woody and roasted notes.
The Carruades de Lafite 2000 grows with every second until it delivers a grand and persistent finish.

This Carruades de Lafite 2000 is a superb success!
