Centuries of Winemaking Tradition

Château Laffitte Carcasset has been crafting exceptional red wines since 1790. Founded by Sir Joseph Laffitte, this winery has a rich history that reflects generations of winemaking expertise. In 1955, the estate was acquired by Viscount Pierre de Padirac, who expanded the vineyard and implemented modern techniques to enhance wine quality.

The Winery Today

Today, Château Laffitte Carcasset continues its legacy under the guidance of Pierre Rousseau, who purchased the estate in 2016. Renowned oenologist Hubert de Bouard, owner of Château Angelus, now advises the winery, further improving the quality of its wines. Nestled in the heart of the gravellous plateau of Saint Estèphe, the estate spans 74 acres of vineyards planted on Garonne gravel over clay-limestone subsoil. The wines are aged for 12 months in 30% new French oak barrels, resulting in thousands of bottles produced each year, showcasing the unique terroir of Bordeaux.

Visit with excellent tasting experience. We were welcomed with kindness and good humor. We visited the castle and tasted 3 high quality wines. The explanations were clear and very interesting. We both learned a lot about the wines of Bordeaux and Saint Estèphe in particular.

A recently renovated Château with a few hotel rooms. The renovation has been done with high quality materials and a lot of style making the visit very pleasant. They have a swimming pool which we were able to take advantage of. Hotel guests are offered a private tour of the winery with wine tasting.

Great experience! The entire property was tastefully renovated in 2022. The rooms are large, tastefully furnished and decorated. But above all: the team is top! Extremely helpful and friendly. And finally: the wine is excellent and the visit quite impressive as the barrels and cellar have also been renovated. A real gem in Saint-Estèphe!

Wonderful chateau in the middle of the Medoc vineyards, recently renovated with all comfort. Staff was super nice, they showed us around the property including the cave and the production site. We also had a wine tasting of their reds, so we really had a 360 Bordeaux experience. Highly recommended!!
