Château Lafon Rochet is owned by Guy Tesseron, brother of Alfred Tesseron (Ch. Pontet Canet). It is Guy's son, Basile, who is now increasingly involved in vinification. The vineyard is magnificently situated between Cos d'Estournel and Lafite Rothschild. The wine from Lafon Rochet is a very classic Bordeaux and that means that it certainly needs some time in the bottle to reach full maturity. The Lafon-Rochet is a blend of Cabernet Sauvigon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, Lafon-Rochet delivers commanding scents of baked blackberries, warm cassis and black cherry compote with suggestions of charcoal, tar and tobacco plus a hint of mushrooms. The medium to full-bodied palate is loaded with black fruit jam and earthy notes, supported by firm, chewy tannins. This beautiful Lafon-Rochet still needs a few years in the bottle and will certainly decant it in its younger years.
The 2020 vintage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon: 61%, Merlot: 33%, Cabernet Franc: 3% and Petit Verdot: 3%

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Diep granaatpaarse Château Lafon-Rochet 2020 opent met intense aroma's van gebakken bramen, cassis en zwarte kersencompote, ondersteund door tonen van houtskool, teer, tabak en een vleugje paddenstoel, terwijl de volle smaak jamachtig zwart fruit, aardse accenten en stevige, taaie tannines biedt. Daardoor vormt hij een ideale partner voor rundvlees, lam, wild, charcuterie en rijpe kazen: de fruitige concentratie snijdt door de vetheid van charcuterie en kaas heen en de tannines en aardse elementen ondersteunen gegrild of stoofvlees; gerechten met geroosterd of langzaam gegaard rundvlees of lam, op de barbecue of in een lange stoofpot met donkere saus of paddenstoelen, werken bijzonder goed. |

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Lafon-Rochet delivers impactful scents of baked blackberries, warm cassis and black cherry compote, with suggestions of chargrill, tar and tobacco leaf, plus a waft of wild mushrooms. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with black fruit preserves and earthy accents, supported by firm, chewy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with great length, if a little chewy.
