Lafon Rochet has joined the Pedesclaux stable that includes Lilian-Ladouys and d?Issan, and they have lured Christophe Congé from Lafite to push the quality forward. We?ve always liked the wine which is usually true to type, a sensible Saint-Estephe at a sensible price that ages well. Tasting with the team we felt that once again this is a worthy effort, very characteristic of the vintage with red plum freshness, a stony feel to the centre and a bright, ripe, long feel in the mouth. The tannins are quite chalky, the overall feel is vivid and pure.
