    Robert Parker writes of this wine "A brilliant second wine, the 2000 Carruades de Lafite (51.4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42.3% Merlot, 4.9% Cabernet Franc, and 1.4% Petit Verdot), aged in 10-15% new French oak, shows wonderfully sweet lead pencil shavings intermixed with an elegant black cherry and cassis nose. A wine of tremendous purity, medium body, and the tell-tale Lafite elegance, this is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next 12-15 years." 2003 90 points

Primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot sourced from the estate's finest parcels, Carruades showcases a harmonious balance of fruit, structure, and finesse. With its silky texture, refined tannins, and complex aromatics, Carruades de Château Lafite exemplifies the allure and sophistication that have made Lafite one of the world's most revered wine estates.
