Creepy Crawlies: The Raft 2002

Carruades de Lafite 2002 is a wine from the Bordeaux region of France, specifically the prestigious village of Pauillac. This wine is known as the second wine of the world-famous Chateau Lafite Rothschild.

Made from a blend of Bernay Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, 2002 was a relatively good vintage in the Bordeaux region, and this year's Carruades de Lafite has a balanced acidity, tannins and moderate fruitiness.

Carruades de Lafite's reputation and quality make it a worthy choice for wine collectors and enthusiasts. It pairs particularly well with food, such as red meats and aged cheeses. Served at the right temperature, decanting if necessary, will allow you to fully enjoy its rich aromas and flavors.
