Lafite Rothschild | Curruades De Lafite | Red | 2001 | Bordeaux | Right Bank - Vivino Rating 4.5

Intro: Château Lafite Rothschild’s second wine, Carruades de Lafite presents similar characteristics to the Grand Vin, but with its own personality linked to a higher proportion of Merlot and to specific plots that are used to produce Carruades. The name comes from the Carruades plateau, a group of plots acquired in 1845 just next to the vines on the Château hilltop.
