CARRUADES DE LAFITE 2007

Wine 2007 Second wine Bordeaux Pauillac

The winter was cold and wet, followed by a very early budburst. The fairly high temperatures in April and March favored the start of vegetation. Then until August, a long gray period, temperate and without excess was prolonged. Fortunately, at the beginning of September, the good weather stabilized, thus favoring the good and calm ripening of the grapes.
The second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild, the "Carruades de Lafite" 2007, reveals the fruit and freshness of Cabernet on the nose and on the palate. The length is good, it's a nice second wine with somewhat strict tannins on the finish, at this stage of tasting (06-2009). This wine is made from 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.

Tom Cannavan
Sensuous, glossy, ripe berry fruit. Lovely fruit quality on the palate with very silky tannins. Beautiful purity and cherry skin acidity as well as fine, powerful but ripe tannins.

Deep ruby garnet, violet reflections. On the nose inviting dark berry compote, blackberries, delicate floral nuances, attractive, blueberry compote. On the palate very balanced, elegant, fine complex morello cherry fruit, mineral texture, adheres well, pleasant extract sweetness, good potential.

Mid ruby. Quite a sludgy colour. Lots of acidity evident from the first sniff. Very light. Well polished with some reasonably firm tannins underneath. Mid weight of fruit. Lightly chewy on the end. Rather astringent finish. A bit dull and lacking life but by no means one of the softest northern Médocs.

Château Lafite Rothschild

Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the oldest and most prestigious estates in the Pauillac appellation, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, but it was in the 18th century that the château acquired international renown, particularly among European courts. In the 1855 classification, Château Lafite Rothschild was ranked Premier Grand Cru Classé, permanently establishing its status at the top of the Bordeaux hierarchy.

Owned by the Rothschild family since 1868, the estate rests on a terroir of fine, deep gravel, perfectly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines of Château Lafite Rothschild are distinguished by their finesse, aromatic precision and balance, favouring elegance and length over demonstrative power.

Emblematic vintages such as Château Lafite Rothschild 1945, Château Lafite Rothschild 1982, Château Lafite Rothschild 1986, Château Lafite Rothschild 1990, Château Lafite Rothschild 1996, Château Lafite Rothschild 2000 or Château Lafite Rothschild 2005 illustrate the estate's stylistic consistency and its ability to express the identity of Pauillac with clarity. Château Lafite Rothschild remains an essential reference for understanding the classical excellence of great Bordeaux wines.
