Chateau Lafon-Rochet (2020)

Château Lafon-Rochet, with origins in the early 16th century, has long been a fixture of Saint-Estèphe, recognized as a great growth in the 1855 classification. Nestled between Cos d’Estournel and Lafite-Rothschild, the estate endured the French Revolution under the Lafon family before later attracting Guy Tesseron, renowned for his Cognac, in the mid-20th century. Tesseron rebuilt both the cellar and château in the style of a 17th-century chartreuse, elevating Lafon-Rochet into one of the benchmark producers of Saint-Estèphe wines celebrated worldwide.
