Château Laffitte Carcasset - Saint-Estèphe - Red - 2022 :

 

Château Laffitte Carcasset: A Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois

From the northern reaches of the Médoc, Château Laffitte Carcasset is a classic Saint-Estèphe, consistently delivering the powerful yet refined character expected of a quality Cru Bourgeois. The estate’s gravelly soils ensure excellent drainage, encouraging the Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve optimal concentration and structure, resulting in a wine built for the long haul.

Tasting Notes (Reference Vintage)

• Colour: A deep, brooding ruby-red, typical of age-worthy Bordeaux.
• Bouquet: Elegant and complex, offering concentrated aromas of ripe blackcurrant, plum, and subtle forest floor, interwoven with notes of mocha, vanilla, and fine leather.
• Taste: Muscular and well-defined. The palate is rich with dark fruit, supported by a firm, yet polished, tannic backbone. It maintains a beautiful freshness throughout, leading to a persistent, refined finish.

Serving & Pairing Excellence

To best enjoy the depth of this wine, we recommend standing the bottle upright for 24 hours and decanting for a minimum of one hour before serving. This allows the robust tannins to soften beautifully.

• Serving Temperature: 16-18°C.
• Recommended Pairings: Traditional Beef Wellington, Game Pie, Roasted Venison with a rich jus, mature Cheddar.
