Tasting notes
A complex nose, although still slightly closed to date with woody notes of red fruits. And aromas of blackcurrant and blueberry. In the mouth, the integration of all elements tannic, woody, fruit, the sweetness is very successful. This wine highlights a nice consistency, tasty with nice tannins and a complex finish and any length.
Estate
The grapes follow the pattern of the old apple tree a grandmother in the garden, the apples have more taste, genuine flavor and a very particular length that is not only due to the variety but at the age This apple tree.
Coming from the oldest vines of the vineyard, they give less fruit, but offer greater complexity. The Lafon Rochet is a wine that is both simple and complex, it expresses aromas of black fruit in most vintages. There is truly a fade and a proper expression in Saint-Estèphe, a certain warmth and roundness finesse born of Merlot.
