The mild temperatures favours the budburst of the vine in February, but at the end of April the cold returns. The frost caused major damage in the Bordeaux region. Protected by the proximity of the river and its terroirs in plateau and hills, Saint-Estèphe is spared. The wines are colourful, balanced, dense and have great ageing potential. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"131\" data-end=\"473\"\u003eReflet de Laffitte Carcasset is produced by Château Laffitte Carcasset, Cru Bourgeois in SaintEstèphe. The estate was founded in 1759 at « Le Carcasset », a place located in the heart of the appellation near the famous Grands Crus Classés.\u003cbr\u003eFaithful to the 18th century tradition, the estate is an elegant white stone house surrounded by its vineyard. Its owner, Jean Laffitte, court lawyer and King's Prosecutor in Bordeaux gave his name to the estate in 1781. Nestled on the gravelly plateau near the Gironde estuary, the cabernet and the merlot benefit from an ideal climate and produce wines of great aromatic expression, in the purest style of Saint-Estèphe. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"131\" data-end=\"473\"\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 class=\"custom-html-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/saint-estephe\" class=\"global-button\"\u003eBrowse our Saint-Estephe Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56831525060952,"sku":"700056","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/reflet-laffitte-carcasset-whelehans-wines-saint-estephe-whelehans-wines-dublin-shop.jpg?v=1774436872","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/reflet-de-chateau-laffitte-carcasset-2017","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
