Carruades de Lafite 1988 — mature Pauillac elegance
This Carruades de Lafite 1988 captures the refinement of Pauillac through the signature of Carruades de Lafite. As the second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild, it offers the charm of a fine Bordeaux with character, where fruit depth, terroir precision and elegant ageing come together in a noble and immediately recognisable style.
Mature, elegant and deeply médoc in character, this wine will appeal to lovers of classical Bordeaux, fine tannic structure and evolving aromatic complexity. It is a natural choice for an elegant dinner, a collector’s cellar or a prestige bottle to share at a fine table.
Wine style: mature, elegant and deeply Médoc in character, with an expression true to Pauillac and to the signature of Carruades de Lafite.
Profile and tasting
Aromatic profile: mellow blackcurrant, cedar, blond tobacco, graphite, fine leather, forest floor and gentle spice.
Serving: serve around 16–18 °C. Open with care and adapt aeration to the vintage: gentle aeration is often enough for mature wines, while a younger bottle may gain amplitude in a suitable decanter.
Food pairing: red meat, lamb, duck, game birds, mushrooms, slow-cooked dishes and mature cheeses.
In summary: Carruades de Lafite 1988 offers the prestige of Lafite in a mature, refined and distinctly Pauillac expression. An elegant Bordeaux shaped by time, ideal for lovers of great second wines and mature Left Bank vintages.
