Carruades de Lafite is the second wine of Château Lafite Rothschild. The source says it is made from younger vines and parcels not selected for the grand vin, offering a more accessible expression of the estate's Pauillac character. It also describes strong secondary-market interest in Asia and Hong Kong relative to many peer second wines.
The source presents Carruades de Lafite as an accessible option for collectors, with a refined style that reflects Pauillac. Dibao Wine assesses each bottle according to its condition and current market conditions.
Carruades de Lafite value and vintage guide
Understanding the wine is the first step in a transaction. The source says Carruades de Lafite values vary with vintage assessments, storage condition and market scarcity. The following categories are descriptive references rather than fixed prices:
| Vintage category | Representative vintages | Market profile and valuation guidance |
| Classic strong vintages | 1982, 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010 | High The source describes these vintages as attracting strong international-auction interest. An intact label and the absence of seepage can support a stronger valuation. |
| Highly rated vintages | 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020 | High The source describes stable recent production, strong ratings and active secondary-market demand. Actual transaction timing and value still depend on the bottle and current buyers. |
| Steady classic vintages | 2003, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017 | Medium to high The source describes relatively steady prices and active market circulation. Any return or sale outcome depends on condition and live demand. |
| Older or scarce vintages | Before 1990 | Condition dependent The cork, fill level and overall bottle condition are especially important for these older wines. A physical inspection can be arranged before a final valuation. |
Why owners use Dibao Wine for Carruades de Lafite valuations
In the Hong Kong Island fine-wine resale market, the source emphasises specialist knowledge and integrity. Each Carruades de Lafite bottle represents both the estate's history and the owner's collection.
- Market-referenced valuation: Dibao Wine reviews London International Vintners Exchange (Liv-ex) data together with current demand in Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and the Southern District when forming a market-referenced valuation. No price is fixed before the bottle and transaction details are checked.
- Storage and condition knowledge: The physical review covers label wear, capsule integrity and the fill level of Carruades de Lafite, with the factors affecting the valuation explained clearly.
- Payment after inspection: After the bottle is inspected, the available payment methods and timing are agreed before completion. This can avoid the consignment process described by the source, but no completion time is fixed in advance.
Collection can be discussed across Hong Kong Island, including The Peak, Repulse Bay and Shek O. Send clear photographs of the front label and fill level on WhatsApp for an initial review; any visit, cost and timing are confirmed in advance.
