Château Laffitte Carcasset was founded in 1759 at a place called « Le Carcasset » in Saint-Estèphe. Faithful to the tradition of its time, the estate is a beautiful 18th century Chartreuse which owes its name to its owner Jean Laffitte, court lawyer and King’s Prosecutor in Bordeaux.
Located in the heart of the appellation and its Grands Crus Classés, the vineyard is nestled on the gravelly plateau, near the Gironde estuary. The cabernet and the merlot benefit from an ideal climate and produce wines of great aromatic expression, in the purest style of Saint-Estèphe.

Good complexity on the nose, chocolate, cherries, plums and blackcurrants. Succulent straight away, it makes you suck your cheeks in, the tannins are abundant and fill the mouth but with a soft, juicy chewiness that’s really pleasant. I really like this density, it feels full without being too much – all in balance.
