Château Lafon Rochet
Anyone climbing the D2 through Saint‑Estèphe catches the golden façade of Château Lafon‑Rochet long before the gate. Roots run back to the 17th century, and the estate earned 4ème Grand Cru Classé status in 1855. Since 1960, the Tesseron family has driven a steady rebuild—culminating in the now‑iconic yellow repaint in 2000.
Vines sit on deep gravel with clay beneath, a classic Médoc recipe for structure. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend, Merlot brings breadth, while Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc add edge. Work in the rows leans toward biodiversity, tight canopy management and uncompromising selection.
In the cellar, controlled temperatures and gentle extraction meet élevage in barrel that lengthens the frame. The result is Saint‑Estèphe with poise: powerful yet disciplined, more terroir imprint than theatrical flourish.Château Lafon Rochet
