2016 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Carruades De Lafite Pauillac
2016 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Carruades De Lafite Pauillac
Beautiful dark red violet colour. Very appealing nose with notes of red fruit dominated by cherry. There are also notes of tobacco which is quite unusual at this stage of the ageing process. On the palate the wine quickly opens up which is often the case for Les Carruades due to its higher proportion of Merlot. It rapidly develops a full bodied character with exceptional balance. The complementarity between the four grape varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) is perfect offering a very pleasant well structured mid-palate. The finish brings refined slightly salty mineral notes.

The vineyard is particularly adapted to growing Merlot grapes. In perfect harmony with the estate’s terroir, Merlot is key in creating a smooth, supple, seductive wine that is fruity yet pure.
Fruity aromas are very present, along with a lovely balance between peppery, mineral and saline notes on one hand and roundness and sheer pleasure on the other.
Dark, voluptuous black cherry fruit, sweet and vivacious. Good grip and acidity.
