Valuation notes

Carruades de Lafite carries the Lafite winemaking style in a more approachable form and reaches its drinking window earlier. It offers an accessible introduction to Lafite and trades actively in the Hong Kong and Macau secondary markets.

Main factors affecting the value of Carruades de Lafite

  • Bottle condition: Fill level, signs of a sunken cork, capsule condition and label integrity are especially important for older vintages.
  • Provenance and packaging: Invoices, the original wooden case (OWC) and cellar records are helpful, with a complete case preferred.
  • Storage conditions: Bottles kept in a temperature-controlled cellar and moved infrequently are generally more dependable in condition.
  • Bottle format: Large formats such as magnums are scarce and often command an additional premium.
