1999

Carruades de Lafite is a second wine produced by Château Lafite Rothschild, located in the prestigious Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. The winery has a long history of producing exceptional wines that showcase the unique terroir of the region.

The 1999 Carruades de Lafite is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. This wine has a deep ruby color and aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and tobacco. On the palate, it offers a rich and full-bodied texture with flavors of dark fruits, earth, and spices. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, leading to a long and elegant finish. This wine is drinking beautifully now but has the potential to age gracefully for many more years.
