Château Lafon-Rochet, a family-owned estate, is very dear to us. Every intention, everything we do matters to preserve our most precious possession: the complex and unique terroir on which our vines grow. A constant challenge, we meet it with passion. A story being written, we tell it with joy. A fine wine that reveals itself with age, we share it with pleasure.
"This is a lovely St-Estepe this year, firm & bright with bristling fruit right out of the gate- hugely unusual to see that this year.
This is one of my favorites, & is totally charming with its cassis & damson fruit, but it's the juice & friendly tension that sets it apart. Silky & enjoyable. Buy." -Decanter
The nose is pleasing, open, fruity, and oaky with notes of fresh pepper. The wine is agreeable and elegant in the mouth, with a subtle attack despite the boldness and power of the mid-palate and finish. The aromas are fruity, smoky and salty. This is a well-made and nicely structured wine.
Classic meat dishes, veal, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta.
