Bordeaux Carruades de Lafite

Our committee's review

A true speculative phenomenon in recent years, Château Lafite Rothschild continues to enjoy a special aura. This Premier Cru Classé from Pauillac excites enthusiasts and turns heads, thanks to its unique signature derived from the northern gravel soils of the appellation, setting it apart from its neighbor, Château Latour. The change in leadership, now under Saskia de Rothschild, has not disrupted the ascent of this legendary estate; on the contrary, it appears to have sparked renewed interest with the new generation at the helm.

The second wine, Carruades de Lafite, has become a brand in its own right, coveted worldwide. The 2023 vintage represents the culmination of efforts over the past decade. A superb second wine, offering a chance to own a piece of the legend.
