Château Lafon Rochet 2022
Saint-Estèphe - 4ème Grand Cru Classé
94/100 James Suckling
Deep and ripe, yet still very discreet, nose with notes of dark chocolate, cigar box, blackcurrant, white pepper, and a touch of graphite. Very juicy and pleasantly smooth on the palate, it offers a full body and a long, tight finish. It won't be available before 2029.

Lafon-Rochet is a wine from the Saint-Estèphe appellation, located in the Médoc wine-growing region of Bordeaux. Ranked fourth Grand Cru in the 1855 classification, this family estate is renowned for producing elegant, well-structured wines that perfectly reflect the richness of its gravel and clay terroirs. Composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon, it boasts complex aromas of black fruits, tobacco and spices, with good acidity and fine tannins, giving it excellent ageing potential. Lafon-Rochet wines are appreciated for their balance and depth, with a touch of minerality typical of Saint-Estèphe.
