Layered blackcurrant and blackberry fruit leads in this 2016 Chateau Lafon-Rochet, framed by graphite, tobacco leaf, and a cool, stony freshness that speaks clearly of St-Estèphe. The palate is concentrated yet lively, with bright acidity and firmly polished tannins giving a long, poised finish that shows how successful and classically styled this vintage is for the estate.

Château Lafon-Rochet is the Grand Vin of this historic Saint-Estèphe 4ème Grand Cru Classé, drawn from the estate’s oldest, best-exposed vines on clay-gravel soils facing Château Lafite. Typically Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot led, it marries the appellation’s structure with a high Merlot component to give warmly rounded black-fruit character, elegance, and notable freshness, producing a wine that was once quite tannic but is now known for supple texture and strong ageing potential.
