Descripción

Nos encontramos ante el second vin de Château Lafite, uno de los grandes nombres de Burdeos. Carruades proviene de unos viñedos situados en una meseta con el mismo nombre que fueron adquiridos por el dominio en 1845. A partir de un preciso coupage formado con las variedades clásicas bordelesas, a los que en esta añada se ha sumado un pequeño porcentaje de Cabernet franc y Petit verdot, muestra de forma nítida el encanto de este terruño privilegiado y de el maravilloso perfil de la Cabernet sauvignon y la Merlot en estas tierras arcillosas. 

La entrega de este vino está prevista durante 2028. Más información en bases.

Opinión de los críticos

Falstaff:

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate edge brightening. Nuances of heart cherries, fine blackberry confit, orange zest, subtle herbal spice, mineral undertones. Juicy, red cherries, delicate hints of currants, fine tannins, salty finish, delicate and persistent, a seductive food companion.

James Suckling:

A tight and linear red with red currant, sweet tobacco and cedar aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, fine and creamy tannins. Bright finish. Extremely fine texture for the second wine of Lafite. Typical character of Carruades. A blend of 55% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 9% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot.

The Wine Advocate:

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 9% Cabernet France and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Carruades de Lafite exhibits notes of sweet plums and berries mingled with notions of orange zest, cedar and cigar wrapper. Medium- to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a gently chalky finish, it checks in at 12.5% alcohol.

Decanter:

Upfront and instantly so welcoming and friendly and fun, bright, lively, full on acidity kicks off the expression – so lifted with the focus on the pure fruit. Salty undercurrent that gives such an incredible contrast to the ripe strawberry fruit. But this is also lacking no richness – it’s got muscles, power, concentration and such capacity to age. Fabulous. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend.
