64% Cabernet Sauvignon/26% Merlot/6% Petit Verdot/4% Cabernet Franc. Harvest dates Cabernet Sauvignon September 28-13 October, Merlot September 24 - 8 October, Cabernet Franc 1 October, Petit Verdot October 11-13. `Exactly the kind of wine I have always wanted to make,` Basile Tesseron told us, beaming with pride. There is no question that this is a brilliant wine. Blackberry, cassis and cocoa, smooth and intense, then a long, fresh finish. (NT 30/04/19)

Antonio Galloni
The 2018 Lafon-Rochet is such a classy wine. Power and finesse meld together in this Saint-Estèphe that is gorgeous, right from the very first taste. Black cherry, herbs, leather, liquorice and dried flowers all build in the glass. In 2018, Lafon-Rochet is richer and bolder than it usually is, and yet all the elements are so nicely balanced. I would give it a few years in the cellar to allow some of the baby fat to melt away. 94 points
