Château Lafon-Rochet, et 4. Cru Classé-slot i Saint-Estèphe, står som en markant perle i Bordeaux med sin ikoniske gyldengule facade og historie, der går tilbage til klassificeringen i 1855. Ejendommen, som i mange år var i hænderne på den passionerede Tesseron-familie, er nu videreført af Lorenzetti-familien, som bringer nye visioner og dedikation til arbejdet med denne exceptionelle ejendom.
Ambitionen er at forfine slottets allerede høje standarder, med respekt for både terroir og traditioner. Fra den gyldne jord i Saint-Estèphe har Lafon-Rochet opnået ry for vine med dybde, finesse og bemærkelsesværdig elegance, hvilket gør det til en sand klassiker i Bordeaux.
The 2025 Lafon-Rochet is classy and polished, as it so often is. Readers will find a Saint-Estèphe of nuance, delineation and understated class. Vibrant blue/purplish fruit, lavender, sage and menthol are some of the many nuances that begin to open with some coaxing. This is classic Lafon-Rochet all the way. Tasted two times.
A dense, chocolaty and focused red showing generous fruit and bark on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with ripe, chewy tannins. Textural, with nice concentration and a long, vivid, flavorful finish.
Wonderful fragrance emitting out of the glass – a lovely vivid pink colour to the rim also. Fruity and juicy straight away, clean, crisp, bright and fresh with a really cool, wet stone undercurrent. There’s firmness but also finesse in that you have the presence of tannins without any harshness or grip. Lovely structure and focus. Super long, with that cool fresh grip really extending on the finish. I like it a lot for its cool profile, low alcohol and really understated character. Something very confident about this, but quiet. You can really feel the Cabernet here, it’s speaking in volumes. Becomes more chewy and round and relaxed after a few minutes. This will be delicious. A liquorice minty spice on the finish. Round and soft. Joyous. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Ageing 40% foudres, 15% new oak, 10% concrete tanks. 3.69pH. 69 IPT.
