Chateau Lafite Rothschild Carruades de Lafite Pauillac 1990
/ #56583442
Carruades de Lafite is the second wine from Château Lafite Rothschild, one of the most renowned producers in the Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux. The wine is produced in the same vineyards as the chateau's first wine, but is typically selected from plots or casks with a profile that suits a more accessible style. The grape composition follows the tradition of Pauillac, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with touches of Merlot, and often smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
The 1990 vintage benefited from a warm and stable growing season, which generally produced rich, concentrated wines with a classic structure and ripe fruit. Carruades de Lafite from this period often show great balance, silky tannins and nuances marked by two decades of bottle aging. Although the wine does not have the same depth as the first vintage, its aging potential is considered solid, and the wine can still deliver complexity and Lafite's characteristic elegance. International wine critics have often praised the vintage for its harmony and maturity.
