With 96 points from James Suckling, this blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 7% Petit Verdot & Cabernet Franc is aged for 16 months in French oak at the Château itself. The result: elegance, silkiness, and that unmistakable Lafite DNA — black currant, pencil lead, and fine-grained tannins. Under Saskia de Rothschild’s leadership, Carruades has evolved into its own identity, sourced from the plateau above the Grand Vin’s vines and made with the same barrels crafted at Lafite. For collectors, this is a chance to own a piece of Bordeaux royalty — refined, age-worthy, and seriously collectible.
