Carruades De Lafite 2021
On request only
Carruades de Lafite 2021 is the second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild, yet it has a clear identity of its own. The name comes from the plateau des Carruades, a group of parcels closely associated with the estate in Pauillac. The vineyards lie in the northern part of the appellation, near Saint-Estèphe, on deep, well-draining fine gravel soils.
For Lafite, 2021 was a more moderate vintage than the warmer years before it. That sense of restraint runs through the style described for this wine: fresh, compact, structured and precise. The blend brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, with Merlot from the south-eastern plateau and young vines from carefully selected parcels playing an important role.

Carruades de Lafite 2021 is the second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild, from Pauillac in the Médoc. This demi bottle of 37.5 cl offers the same Bordeaux in a smaller, more flexible format, well suited to a careful tasting or a dinner where a full bottle is not needed.
For the 2021 vintage, the estate carried out a notably strict selection. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Carruades de Lafite has its own identity within Château Lafite Rothschild, historically linked to the Plateau des Carruades and the vineyards around the château.
The wine was made using traditional Bordeaux methods in wooden, concrete and stainless steel vats, with gentle pump-overs adjusted to each vat. It (…)Carruades De Lafite 2021 Magnum (1,5l)

Carruades De Lafite 2021 Magnum (1,5l)
On request only
Carruades de Lafite 2021 is the second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild from Pauillac in Bordeaux. This is the same wine presented in magnum, a 1.5-litre format that suits a table where the bottle is meant to be shared and followed over time.
For the 2021 vintage, the selection for Carruades was especially strict. The blend brings together cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot, with merlot drawn in part from important terroirs on the south-eastern plateau, close to parcels used for the grand vin. Young vines, harvested separately within top parcels, also played a meaningful role in the final blend.
The winemaking follows traditional Bordeaux lines: fermentation in wooden, concrete and stainless-steel vats, gentle pump-overs and (…)Carruades De Lafite 2022 Demi (37,5cl)

Carruades de Lafite 2022 Demi is the second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild, presented here in a 37.5 cl half bottle. That format gives a very approachable way to explore a serious Pauillac without opening a full bottle.
Carruades de Lafite has its own identity within the Lafite Rothschild estate. The 2022 blend is led by cabernet sauvignon, with a substantial share of merlot, supported by cabernet franc and petit verdot. The merlot component and the specific parcels used for Carruades help set it apart within the estate's range.
The 2022 growing season was demanding, with frost alerts in April, heavy rain in June and then a long dry, warm period. Harvest began on 1 September in good conditions. In the cellar, the wine follows the estate's traditional (…)Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2015 Demi (37,5cl)

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2015 Demi (37,5cl)
On request only
Château Lafite Rothschild 2015 Demi is the Grand Vin of Château Lafite Rothschild from Pauillac, offered here in the 37.5 cl half-bottle format. The size is smaller, but the wine is the same 2015 cuvée as in the standard bottle.
Its origin is northern Pauillac, close to Saint-Estèphe, with key vineyard sources on the Plateau des Carruades. The clay and gravel soils provide good drainage and form an important setting for Cabernet Sauvignon, which leads the 2015 blend with 91%, supported by 9% Merlot.
The 2015 growing season brought warmth, moderated by the ocean and the Gironde estuary, while August rain helped restore freshness during ripening. Vinification was carried out according to parcel origin and grape maturity, followed by 20 (…)Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019
On request only
Château Lafite Rothschild 2019 is the Grand Vin of the Pauillac estate and part of the 1855 Premier Cru classification. It sits firmly in the world of left-bank Bordeaux, with Cabernet Sauvignon at the centre and a style built around depth, finesse and long-term ageing.
The 2019 blend is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. The fruit comes from the estate vineyards in Pauillac, with fine, deep gravel soils and well-drained exposures, alongside a small historic parcel base in neighbouring Saint-Estèphe that may be used for the Grand Vin. Only vines older than ten years are selected. Harvest took place from 19 September to 7 October, following a growing season shaped by heat, well-timed rain and a measured ripening period for the Cabernet (…)Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Magnum (1,5l)

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Magnum (1,5l)
On request only
Château Lafite Rothschild 2019 Magnum is the Grand Vin of Château Lafite Rothschild from Pauillac in Bordeaux. This is a dry red Bordeaux blend from the AOC Pauillac, produced by a château ranked among the Premiers Grands Crus Classés of 1855. The 1.5-litre magnum format highlights the presentation, while the wine remains the same 2019 Grand Vin in identity and origin.
Cabernet sauvignon defines the blend, accounting for 94%, supported by 5% merlot and 1% petit verdot. The fruit comes from the estate in northern Pauillac, close to Saint-Estèphe, with the Plateau des Carruades identified as an important part of Lafite's finest terroirs. Its well-drained clay-gravel soils and favourable exposure are especially relevant for cabernet sauvignon (…)Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2020 Demi (37,5cl)

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2020 Demi (37,5cl)
On request only
Château Lafite Rothschild 2020 Demi is the estate's Grand Vin in a 37.5 cl half-bottle. Demi refers to the bottle size, not to a separate cuvée, so this is the same Château Lafite Rothschild 2020 in a smaller and more considered format.
The 2020 blend is led decisively by Cabernet Sauvignon: 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 7% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. It comes from Pauillac, where gravel-rich soils and parcel-by-parcel vinification are central to the estate's approach. After selection, the wine spends 15 months in new French oak barrels.
In the Bordeaux selection at Drankenshop Broekmans, this bottle stands out for its pedigree and restraint: a Premier Grand Cru Classé from the 1855 classification, from a vintage the château (…)
