CHATEAU LAFON-ROCHET 750 ml

Discover Château Lafon-Rochet, a revered Fourth Growth property from Bordeaux's 1855 classification, nestled in the Saint-Estèphe region of France. This estate traces its origins to the 16th century under the name Domaine de Rochet, evolving through a pivotal marriage in 1650 that fused the Lafon name into its legacy. The Tesseron family stepped in during 1960, spearheading major updates like a striking new château. Today, the Lorenzetti family upholds this tradition since 2021, crafting wines that echo centuries of dedication.

The 2016 vintage captivates with its intense dark ruby color. Lift a glass to reveal an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberries and plums, laced with delicate violet whispers.

This medium to full-bodied red strikes a seamless equilibrium, blending vibrant freshness against profound layers.
