The Rousseau family took the reins of this Cru Bourgeois property in 2016, overseeing 35 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot planted across a prime gravelly plateau. These vines yield wines that really capture the character of the appellation, balancing aromatic complexity and deep fruit with the classic structure and power that Saint-Estèphe is known for. It’s a serious, age-worthy red that shows exactly why this estate remains such a reliable reference point for the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"\/collections\/crus-bourgeois-bordeaux-red-wine-for-sale\"\u003eBrowse our Cru Bourgeois Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56831510085976,"sku":"700055","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/chateau-laffitte-carcasset-saint-estephe-whelehans-wines-dublin-wineshop.jpg?v=1774363486","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/chateau-laffitte-carcasset-st-estephe-2019","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
