    Product description

    Adjacent to Lafite Rotshchild and Cos d’Estournel in Saint Estephe, Lafon Rochet has a great location. In recent years, later harvest and higher use of new oak has made the wine more powerful.

    Harmonious with concentrated cassis and chocolate aromas. Round and well balanced with firm tannin and a clean finish.

    Tasted blind at Southwold '06 Bordeaux tasting. The best showing of the Lafon Rochet '06 so far! It has an open nose that is well defined, but unashamedly earthy and austere with aromas of pencil shavings, leather and a touch of white pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with sharp acidity, a decent backbone here, structured, blackberry laced with black pepper with a salty tang towards the finish. Moderate length and a lively, tactile, "umami" aftertaste.

    About the producer: Château Lafon Rochet

    Lafon Rochet has a great location, adjacent to Lafite Rotshchild and Cos d’Estournel in Saint Estephe. Since the Tesseron family, who’s member Alfred is in charge of Château Pontet Canet, took over in 1959, the quality of the wine has improved a lot. Since 2007 Basile Tesseron, alongside is father Michel, have been managing the estate and started to work following organic practice. The 2016 vintage will be the first one to be 100% organically farmed. Later harvest and higher use of new oak has made the wine from Lafon Rocher more powerful and they are today getting more attention. View our selection.
