Lafon-Rochet is a wine that is both simple and complex, it expresses aromas of black fruit in most vintages. There is truly a blend and features specific to Saint-Estèphe, a certain warmth and roundness, full of delicacy coming from Merlot’s grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlend: 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWE95\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA sinuous line of tannins runs through this structured wine. It lifts the dark plum and berry fruits and give shape to the spicy, firm wine. As the estate builds in strength, the style of this perfumed, stylish wine will be seen as a benchmark. Drink from 2025.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCellar Selection\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJD94\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJeb Dunnuck\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA 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!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJS93\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVery perfumed with blackberries, blueberries and cloves. Dried lavender as well. Full body and linear and refined tannins. Pretty spices come together with the clean fruit at the end. Hard not to drink now but two or three years of bottle age will pull it together. Drink in 2020.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD91\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecanter\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMore florality than usual on the lifted, gamey fruit. Less robust and more elegant than previous years; a very good wine from this château.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Lafon-Rochet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975629476064,"sku":"102288","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/ch-teau-lafon-rochet-st--est-phe.jpg?v=1663884182","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-lafon-rochet-st-estephe-2015-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
