2015 Chateau Lafon-Rochet 4eme Cru Classe, Saint-Estephe
£42.00
“The 2015 Lafon-Rochet has a very perfumed bouquet. It’s much more floral than the 2014 with rose petals, iris-infused red berry fruit, wild mint, and Provencal herbs, all beautifully defined. The palate is fleshy and rounded, with lithe tannins that frame the brisk red cherry and strawberry fruit. It’s very cohesive and almost Burgundy-like towards the finish. This is a winsome Saint-Estèphe that will give much pleasure.”
94 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“A gem from Saint-Estèphe is the 2015 Château Lafon-Rochet and it’s certainly one of the top wines from this appellation in 2015. Elegant, medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure and refined, it offers impressive notes of sweet dark fruits, crème de cassis, classy oak and a kiss of minerality. It’s the finesse and quality of tannin, as well as its solid mid-palate, that sets this beauty apart. This wine is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot, and it’s hidden little gem worth tracking down”
