Carruades de Lafite is the second wine of the legendary Château Lafite Rothschild, one of the most prestigious First Growth estates in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. The 2002 vintage presented some challenges in Bordeaux due to variable weather, but Château Lafite's expertise shines through in their Carruades de Lafite 2002, which offers an elegant, approachable profile of red and black fruits, subtle spice, and well-integrated tannins. As the more accessible, early-drinking counterpart to the grand vin of Château Lafite, the Carruades de Lafite 2002 provides Bordeaux enthusiasts an opportunity to experience the house style of this iconic estate, even in a more challenging vintage.
