Cult Wines Recomendation
Following our recent success with le Petit Mouton; the
second wine of Mouton Rothschild, we have done further
investigation into other First Growth Estates and their
better valued second wines. Our search has led us to the
darling of Bordeaux, Lafite Rothschild and more specifically
its second tier offering Carruades de Lafite.
This is only our second recommendation from what was a
difficult vintage and whilst we are treading with caution
for the 2013 EP campaign, we feel that alongside the Petit
Mouton, the Carruades de Lafite ‘13 will provide immediate
value, strong short term performance and cement itself as a
staple addition to all client portfolios.
When making moves in ‘off prime’ vintages, value is
essential and with comparable physical vintages trading at
over £1,700 per case the Carruades de Lafite 2013 is clearly
very well priced for the investor and has plenty of room for
substantial price movement ahead of physical delivery in
Spring 2016.

"The Carruades de Lafite is a blend of 64% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.
It has quite a floral bouquet with touches of dried violet
petals infusing the crisp blackberry fruit, laced with cedar
and a touch of smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with a
supple entry, starting with black fruit but gently moving to
more red fruit towards the finish. There is not the usual
persistency, but it has pleasing purity and
approachability."
Score: (88-90) |

Investment Analysis
As can be seen from the graph below, the 2013 Carruades de
Lafite is the cheapest on the market. The score (bare
minimum) is in line with that of 2006 and 2007, with
comparisons being drawn directly to the ’07 which currently
trades at over £1,750, representing 85% growth.
The most recent physical vintage of Carruades de Lafite is
the 2011, which is scored at the bottom end of the 2013
spread and actively trades at £1,300 per 12. This is a clear
price disparity of over 35%, which we expect to be gained
over the next 24 months..


Key Points:
• Very little downside risk – most affordable Carruades
de Lafite vintage.
• Growth projection of 35% ahead of physical release in
Spring 2016.
• Compared to 2007 vintage, trades over £1,750.00 per
12.
• Very limited availability at this buy price.
• Surge in demand from Far East expected on physical
delivery.
