The essence of Lafite—refined, approachable, and beautifully structured.

Carruades de Lafite 2020 offers a compelling introduction to the elegance and pedigree of Château Lafite Rothschild. Produced from select parcels within the estate, it reflects the signature balance, precision, and finesse that define Pauillac.

The 2020 vintage, shaped by warm and consistent conditions, brings greater depth and structure compared to cooler years, while maintaining freshness and clarity.

Tasting Notes

Bright and expressive, with aromas of blackcurrant, red cherry, and plum, layered with hints of cedar, graphite, and subtle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, showing fine, polished tannins and a balanced structure, with good freshness supporting the fruit. The finish is clean and refined, with lingering notes of dark berries and a touch of mineral elegance.

Pairings

Pairs well with a wide range of dishes, particularly grilled or roasted meats such as lamb, beef, and duck. Its balance and freshness also make it suitable for roast chicken, mushroom-based dishes, and lighter steak preparations. For a classic pairing, aged cheeses like Comté or mild Cheddar complement its structure without overpowering its elegance.

Decant

Decant for around 1–2 hours when young, allowing the wine to open up, soften its tannins, and reveal greater aromatic complexity while maintaining its balance and freshness.
