About the Product
- Classification
- 4eme Grand Cru Classé
- Producer Notes
- The estate's great wine comes from the oldest vines. Château Lafon-Rochet is a wine that is both simple and complex, it expresses aromas of black fruits in the majority of vintages, there is really a fade and a particular expression of Saint-Estèphe, a certain warmth and roundness while finesse from the Merlot grape variety.

Herrliche Mischung aus Bekömmlichkeit und Liebreiz, Schliff und seidiger Dichte.
2014 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2017
Here’s a St.-Estèphe that’s really appealing young but also has good aging potential. Great balance between crisp acidity, ripe fruit and elegant dry tannins. The finish is long and rather subtle. Hard not to drink now.
2014 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2017
Could this be the best wine ever from Lafon Rochet? I think so! With its soft, supple textures, blast of ripe, sweet, black, dark red and blue fruit, coupled with its long, character filled finish, this was showing quite nicely indeed. Age will only improve this wine from here. The wine was produced from a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot.

Tasted: Jan 2017
Big-hearted fruit dominates this smooth wine. The estate, owned by the Tesseron family and close to their other property of Pontet-Canet, is performing well and it shows in this juicy ripe wine, full of generous tannins. The aftertaste shows both acidity and concentration. Drink from 2022.

Medium purple. Double-decanted for an hour. Complex and rich notes of oak, vanilla, pronounced black fruits like black currant and blackberry, spices like nutmegs. Well structured, full bodied, medium plus intensity and acidity. Silky and soft tannins. Elegant and powerful. Can drink now but has po
