Carruades de Lafite
Carruades de Lafite is the name of a line of wines produced by the famous Château Lafite Rothschild, a prestigious wine estate located in the Bordeaux region of France. Carruades de Lafite is considered to be the 'second wine' of Château Lafite Rothschild, meaning that it is made from grapes from the same vineyards as the château's main wine, but from selections of younger grapes or less prestigious vineyard plots. Carruades de Lafite wines are mainly red wines made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot grapes. They are produced with the same meticulous care as the château's main wine and are matured in French oak barrels for a variable period, usually shorter than the main wine. Although Carruades de Lafite is considered the "second wine," this does not mean that they are inferior wines. In fact, these wines are of very high quality and offer an exceptional taste experience, although perhaps less complex and ageable than the main wine of Château Lafite Rothschild. They are often more affordable in price than the main wine, making them more accessible to wine lovers

The name "Carruades" is partly linked to the history of the estate and comes from an ancient unit of measurement used to quantify the area of Château Lafite Rothschild vineyards in the 18th century. Ultimately, Lafite Carruades offer an opportunity to taste the magic of Château Lafite Rothschild at a relatively lower cost than their main wine. They are prized for their elegance, structure and aromas of black fruit and spice, and are regarded as quality wines by wine lovers around the world
