Le Corsaire De Laffitte Carcasset Saint-Estèphe AOC by Château Laffitte Carcasset

Château Laffitte Carcasset was founded in 1759 at «Le Carcasset», an area located at the heart of Saint-Estèphe appellation. In 1781 his owner, Jean Laffitte, lawyer and prosecutor of the King Louis XVI in Bordeaux, gave his name to the estate.

This beautiful chartreuse typical of the 18th century, is surrounded by the Classified Growths of Saint-Estèphe. The vineyard is on the gravellous plateau, near the Gironde estuary where the Cabernet and the Merlot best express their potential.

Le Corsaire de Laffitte Carcasset is a highly accessible red Bordeaux wine from the prestigious Saint-Estèphe appellation. This cuvée was created in tribute to the founder of Château Laffitte Carcasset, Jean Laffitte – a public figure in Bordeaux and world traveller. It is also a nod to the last pirate of the Caribbean of the same name, whose origins, studied by New York Times journalist William C. Davis, are said to be in the Médoc. Two intertwined destinies, half myth, half history, told on a label using augmented reality.
