Carruades de Lafite 2010
/ #60764600
Carruades de Lafite is the second wine from one of Pauillac's most renowned châteaux. The style is classic for the area with Cabernet Sauvignon as the dominant grape, complemented by Merlot and smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. 2010 is considered one of the strongest vintages in Bordeaux, characterized by great concentration, balance and a long aging potential. The vinification often follows the same care as the main wine, but with fruit material selected for this cuvée.
The style is often more readily available in the first few years after release, but the wine develops over many years and can be stored for a decade or more from the vintage. Reviewers such as Wine Advocate and Vinous have generally given this vintage very good ratings, including 94 points from Wine Advocate. Carruades de Lafite is often considered one of the most sought-after second wines from Pauillac.
