Sell 1998 Carruades de Lafite Wine

For Bordeaux, 1998 was a vintage steeped in classical elegance and highly regarded by seasoned collectors. As the second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild, 1998 Carruades de Lafite (often referred to as "Little Lafite") inherits the elegance and finesse of its grand vin while also showcasing its unique terroir. For collectors looking to sell 1998 Carruades de Lafite, understanding its vintage characteristics and tasting notes can help in accurately assessing its true market value.

1998 Bordeaux Left Bank Climate and the Birth of Carruades de Lafite

The Pauillac appellation on the Left Bank of Bordeaux in 1998 experienced a hot, dry August and early September, followed by rainfall that brought ideal ripeness to the grapes. That year's Carruades de Lafite featured a higher proportion of Merlot in its blend, making the wine more approachable in its youth compared to the grand vin. After more than two decades of aging, its tannins have completely softened, exuding a mature mellowness. Currently, 1998 Bordeaux classified growth red wines are in their prime drinking window, which is one of the reasons for their sustained popularity in the secondary auction and high-end wine resale market.
