57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc. Still deep crimson. Lots of evolution on the nose. Quite chunky and stony and very St-Estèphe. Correct and upright. Still going strong. Lots of chunky tannin. Jancis Robinson (16.5)

Delivery Information
The wines are matured in oak barriques (40% new) for 18 months.
Chateau Lafon-Rochet is a 4eme Cru Classe St-Estèphe estate that has been owned by the Tesseron family since 1959. The property had been neglected and Guy Tesseron extensively replanted, as well as building a completely new château in "chartreuse" style. Today Lafon-Rochet is run by Albert and Michel Tesseron. Lafon-Rochet's vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 56%, Merlot 40%, Cabernet Franc 4%) lie on clay-gravel soils and are superbly sited in the south of the commune opposite Chateau Lafite.
