| Over het wijnhuis | Château Lafon-Rochet is een 4e Grand Cru Classé en is gevestigd in Saint-Estèphe. Het landgoed werd gesticht in 1650, toen Antoinette de Guillemotte ‘het land van Rochette’ als bruidschat aan haar man, Pierre de Lafon, schonk. Het bleef twee eeuwen in handen van dezelfde familie, als een van de weinige van Bordeaux. In 1959 nam de familie Tesseron het over en begon meteen een grootschalige renovatie. |

| Awards | "The 2020 Lafon-Rochet opens in the glass with aromas of cassis, plums and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep palate with good concentration, lively acids and plenty of powdery structuring tannin that asserts itself on the finish. This, too, is more structured than its 2019 counterpart and will require a bit of patience." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Subtle dried spices and berries with chocolate undertones. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a savory finish. Fresh and bright. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better in a year or two and onwards" - James Suckling "61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. Deeply dark-fruited with a touch of sweetness like Ribena (blackcurrant cordial). Quite oaky on the palate but has better freshness than some 2020s. Smooth, deep tannins. Wholesome and persistent." - Jancis Robinson "The 2020 Lafon-Rochet represents the essence of classicism in Bordeaux. Medium in body and finely-cut, Lafon-Rochet is one of the classiest, more refined Saint-Estèphes readers will come across. Dark fruit, earthiness, lavender, licorice, menthol and cloves add nuance, but it is the wine's balance and vibrancy that impress most. Give the tannins a few years to melt away. Superb." - Vinous "Plump and open, with a burst of loganberry and mulberry fruit backed by light tobacco, warm earth and savory notes. Shows a savory edge, which moves to the lead on the finish. Solid. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2034." - Wine Spectator "This has a delicate, seductive charm to it, slowly displaying scented blueberries and raspberries before layers of salty minerality, liquorice and cooling blue fruits come into play. It’s not immediately upfront, more calm and collected, slowly growing in stature and presence. Tannins are fine but mouthcoating; this isn't a light wine but is elegant. Textured, chalky wet stone and a grainy element with tobacco and liquorice. Impressive complexity and drama. Sophisticated, intellectual, luminous and detailed. Sublime and just gets better and better." - Decanter |
