2018 Château Lafon-Rochet, St Estèphe, Bordeaux

Description

Basile Tesseron is usually quite self-effacing, but he cannot hide the pleasure in his 2018. He likes to age his wine on their lees in barrel and for that you need perfect, healthy skins, which 2018 delivered. The extended lees contact adds an extra level of creaminess to an already interesting and pure expression of savoury, rich fruit. Drink 2026-2038.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 90-92+/100
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Lafon-Rochet is scented of cassis, blackberries, herbs and soil with tar and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is firm and grainy with herb sparks and an earthy finish.Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 23/04/2019
