Graceful structure and vivid dark fruit define Chateau Lafon-Rochet 2020, with layers of blackberry and plum threaded by floral notes, cool spice and a subtle stony earthiness. The palate is medium-bodied yet concentrated, its fresh acidity and tightly knit tannins giving a poised, classical feel and a long, purposeful finish that promises considerable development in bottle.

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.
