Description
The golden yellow of Château Lafon-Rochet may come as a surprise when you venture into the Médoc.
It is a colour that is both bold and warm, just like Michel Tesseron, Basile Tesseron and their precious collaborators, who live at the rhythm of the vine with commitment and passion: "It takes great winemakers to get the best out of a nature that we do not control. Basile Tesseron
The estate's great wine comes from the oldest vines.
Château Lafon-Rochet is a wine that is both simple and complex, it expresses black fruit aromas in the majority of vintages, there is a real melting pot and a particular expression specific to Saint-Estephe, a certain warmth and roundness born of the Merlot grape.

Tasting
A "classic" vintage, a wine built on a natural power with a very fleshy, very round attack, a balanced and silky sweetness, followed by a second part of the mouth that is more classic, more tense. The long finish reflects this year's softness and patience.
