Chateau Lafon-Rochet Saint Estephe Rouge Grand Cru Classè 2016
The grapes follow the same grandmother’s recipe for the cultivation of old apple trees, of which apples have more taste, a genuine flavour and a very particular length that is not only due to the variety but at the age of this apple tree. Coming from the oldest wines of the vineyard, they bear less fruit, but offer greater complexity. 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.

Colour

Garnet red.

Bouquet

The nose is full of fruity and balsamic notes, with hints of coffee, tobacco and vanilla.

Flavour

The aromas are a prelude to a sip of great pleasure, which makes all its character feel with a sour push and an intense tannic texture, supported by balsamic and mineral flavors with a long persistence.

Pairing

A grand Saint Estèphe, of great elegance that goes well with refined meat dishes. Baked lamb shoulder.
