Remarkably situated next to Lafite Rothschild and Cos Labory, and quite close to Cos d'Estournel, Château Lafon-Rochet has 40 hectares of vines in a single block, with gravel soil on a clay-sand subsoil.
The Château was built in the 1970s and is easily recognizable due to its recent re-painting in the same cheerful orange color as the new label.
The construction of an air-conditioned cellar and a new vat room in 2000 is in line with the owners' ambitions.
Belonging to the Tesseron family since 1959, this 4th growth Saint-Estèphe produces deep, expressive, elegantly spicy wines which require several years to express themselves.
