Carruades de Lafite 2010

Carruades de Lafite 2010 — depth and structure from a great vintage

This Carruades de Lafite 2010 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.

Dense, structured, precise and full of potential, 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.

Profile and tasting

Aromatic profile: blackcurrant, blackberry, graphite, cedar, liquorice, noble spice and mineral notes.

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.
