"Racy, powerful, a great price, it has it all! ~ Le Figaro "
"Lafitte-Carcasset 2019 is impressive, just as it was in barrel. Full-bodied and texturally intense, the 2019 packs a lot of punch. Aromas of black fruit, spice, leather, tobacco, gravel, menthol and licorice develop effortlessly in the glass. All the elements are so well balanced. The 2019 is a great beauty." (Vinous 2022) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

Expert opinion
Wine Enthusiast
Rated wine (guide 2022) 92/100
About the wine:
The vineyards near the Gironde estuary have produced a rich, firm wine with generous tannins. It is concentrated and spicy, with notes of black plum. Destined to age well, it will be ready from 2026.

Rated wine (guide 2021 ) 91/100
About the wine:
A lovely nose of blackcurrant, plum, blueberry, incense and dried spices. Medium-bodied, with chewy tannins. Structured, with lots of black fruit on the palate and a firm but juicy finish. Drink from 2023.
Le Figaro vins
Rated wine (guide 2021 ) 93/100
About the wine:
Racy, powerful, great value, it's got it all! We love the aromatic expression, complex and extravagant, ripe fruit, spices and hints of old rose; the palate is dense, with tight, deep tannins, energy and a body made to last. Racy and powerful.
Terre de Vins
Wine rated (2020 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
The dark color heralds good concentration. The nose immediately charms with red berries. The attack is seductive, revealing a lovely round body. The mid-palate is rich, complex and well-balanced. Lingering finish, tinged with red berries. A promising future.
Yves Beck
Wine rated (guide 2021) 92/100
About the wine:
Subtle, complex bouquet combining freshness, fruit and spice. Nuances of tea leaves, blackcurrant and licorice. On the palate, the wine reveals itself slowly. Its tannins are serene, well-integrated and provide a perfect backdrop without being demonstrative. They go hand in hand with the freshness of the acid structure. These two elements create an excellent balance, making this wine both accessible and long-lasting. A convincing and delightful wine! 2024-2039
