The plateau of Carruades and its mythical terroir of deep clay gravel was acquired at the end of the 19th century. The origin of its name comes from the "plateau des Carruades," the name of a group of plots of land adjoining the ridge of Château Lafite Rothschild. Carruades de Lafite has characteristics similar to those of the Grand Vin, with its own personality linked to a higher proportion of Merlot and specific lots destined for the production of Carruades.
