冬季多雨，春寒料峭，6月和7月高溫乾燥。 8月氣候溫和，9月天氣較為晴好，這使得葡萄緩慢成熟，收穫期延至9月底。在葡萄完全成熟之前，需要耐心等待。

品酒筆記（灌瓶時）：

鼻中香氣輕柔且緩緩展開。以水果香氣為主，微有蜜餞香。口感先為豐腴，後向飽滿均衡發展，且從容優雅。尾香持久、甘美、柔順。

Lafite’s second wine has become stronger over recent vintages as the selection for the grand vin has become Draconian under administrator Charles Chevalier. The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Carruades de Lafite (48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) exhibits sweet, crunchy, savory, black cherry, and raspberry fruit along with hints of road tar, spring flowers, and a touch of minerality. Give it 1-2 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 12-13. RP
