Lafite Rothschild is known for its perfume, elegance, finesse and harmony, in contrast to the more powerful Latour and Mouton Rothschild. Nevertheless, great vintages can age for 50 years or more. The precise blend of grand vin can vary depending on the vintage. It often contains between 80-95 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot making up much of the rest. In the winery, each plot of grapes is kept seperate for the fermentation to preserve their terroir and allow for maximum control at blending. The wine is aged for up to 20 months in new oak barrels. Carruades de Lafite is the second wine, with a strong following in its own right. More Merlot (30-50 percent) appears in the final blend. It is aged for 18-20 months, with 80 percent in barrels and 20 percent in tank. The Lafite Rothschild vineyard covers around 112 hectares (277 acres) on sunny, well-drained sites made up of fine gravel and sand over limestone subsoil. The vineyard is divided into three parts: the vines on the hillsides around the château provide the core material for the grand vin, while the adjacent Carruades plateau to the west is more responsible for the second wine that bears its name. Additionally a 4.5ha (11 acre) plot in Saint-Estèphe also belongs to the estate; unusually it has permission to include the fruit in its Pauillac-classified wines. Around 70 percent of the vineyards are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, with 25 percent to Merlot, 3 percent to Cabernet Franc and 2 percent to Petit Verdot. The average age of the vines is 40 years old. The neighboring property Duhart-Milon is under the same ownership, and managed by the same team as Lafite. Domaines Barons de Rothschild also owns the Premier Grand Cru Classé Château Rieussec in Sauternes, Château L'Évangile in Pomerol, and three Bordeaux brands, Légende, Saga and Résérve Spéciale. Properties further afield include Domaine d'Aussières in Languedoc, Los Vascos in Chile and Bodegas Caro in Mendoza, Argentina.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-02-08T13:29:48-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-02T11:53:31-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK0102","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Chateau Lafite Rothschild","Region_Bordeaux","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":99899,"price_min":99899,"price_max":99899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42759088537738,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2019 | Château Lafite Rothschild | 'Carruades de Lafite' (Half Bottle)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":99899,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/44_64a41a01-0b25-49c6-86da-415faf6a532c.jpg?v=1675356835"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/44_64a41a01-0b25-49c6-86da-415faf6a532c.jpg?v=1675356835","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2019 | Château Lafite Rothschild | 'Carruades de Lafite' (Half Bottle) at CaskCartel.com","id":24138637082762,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/44_64a41a01-0b25-49c6-86da-415faf6a532c.jpg?v=1675356835"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/44_64a41a01-0b25-49c6-86da-415faf6a532c.jpg?v=1675356835","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2019 | Château Lafite Rothschild | 'Carruades de Lafite' (Half Bottle)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery floral nose with exceptional complexity.
