Carruades de Lafite 2005
The second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild, Carruades de Lafite 2005 draws its elegance from the gravelly soils of Pauillac. Notes of blackcurrant and tobacco on the nose, a round palate with silky tannins, and a mineral, lively finish. Perfect until 2035 with game or aged cheeses.

Nestled in the heart of Pauillac, this legendary estate has embodied Bordeaux excellence since the 17th century, combining a family heritage with the mastery of an exceptional terroir.
- Terroir : Deep gravels and aeolian sands over a limestone subsoil, shaping wines of mineral elegance and rare precision.
- Winemaking : A meticulous blend, aged in oak barrels for a silky structure and lasting aromatic complexity.
Tasting notes for Château Lafite Rothschild Carruades de Lafite 2005
- To the eye : Deep purple robe with garnet highlights, of a velvety density and crystalline brilliance, revealing a generous body and silky texture.
- On the nose : Aromas of fresh blackcurrant and ripe blueberry intertwine with deeper notes of blonde tobacco and cedar, underlined by a menthol touch and a chalky minerality, evoking the gravel of the terroir.
- On the palate : A round and fleshy attack, carried by fine and well-integrated tannins, a lively acidity and a mineral tension that guides a long, saline finish, leaving an impression of purity and balance.
Serve between 16 and 18°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its complexity.
Vintage 2005
A vintage marked by optimal ripeness, where the summer drought concentrated the fruit while preserving a vibrant freshness, typical of the great wines of Pauillac.
- Aging potential : To be enjoyed now and through 2035; store the bottle on its side in a cool, humid cellar.
