Description

The 2018 Chateau Lafon Rochet is such a classy wine. This Chateau Lafon Rochet has a power and finesse meld together in this Saint-Estèphe that is gorgeous, right from the very first taste. Black cherry, herbs, leather, licorice and dried flowers all build in the glass. In 2018, Lafon-Rochet is richer and bolder than it usually is, and yet all the elements are so nicely balanced.

This terroir is home to a great diversity of soils, including clay loams, clay and sandy soils. The 2018 Chateau Lafont Rochet is the Grand Vin of the estate and is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (64%), Merlot (26%), Cabernet Franc (4%) and Petit Verdot (6%).

Produced with the utmost respect for the terroir from the oldest vines in the vineyard, the 2018 Chateau Lafont Rochet expresses the typicality of a great Saint-Estèphe wine.
