Descrizione

Carruades de Lafite Rothschild is the second wine associated with the Maison Lafite and comes from Pauillac. It shows an elegant, restrained profile: on the nose there are aromas of small red and dark fruits, light earthy notes and a hint of spice. On the palate it offers a defined but well-integrated tannic structure, with sapidity supporting the fruit and a balanced progression toward a persistent finish. Overall it provides a pleasant expression of the origin without resorting to showy elements.

This bottle suits those seeking a red with character yet accessible: it pairs with grilled red meats, roasts and aged cheeses, and also stands up to mushroom dishes or structured ragù. A short aeration before serving can be beneficial; serve at a moderate temperature to highlight its aromas. Ideal for drinking now or in the coming months, and for those who want to approach the estate's production in a more immediate way.
