We have a limited amount of 2020 from Château Lafon-Rochet, a historic estate in Saint-Estèphe. The vineyard spans 41 hectares, primarily planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. Established in the 17th century, the estate has consistently produced quality wines under the ownership of the Tesseron family since 1960. Winemaking at Lafon-Rochet involves traditional methods with modern techniques, including manual harvesting and precise temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, with around 50% new oak, enhancing its structure and complexity. 2020 is an outstanding effort here, thanks to favorable weather conditions, leading to high-quality grapes with excellent concentration and balance. This is one of the greatest examples ever from Lafon Rochet, and we have a limited amount at this friendly pricing.
Antonio Galloni 96 points! "The 2020 Lafon-Rochet represents the essence of classicism in Bordeaux. Medium in body and finely-cut, Lafon-Rochet is one of the classiest, more refined Saint-Estèphes readers will come across. Dark fruit, earthiness, lavender, licorice, menthol and cloves add nuance, but it is the wine's balance and vibrancy that impress most. Give the tannins a few years to melt away. Superb. (Drink between 2030-2050)"
