Chateau Lafon‑Rochet Saint‑Estephe 2021

SKU: CHLR21

Taste: Medium to full‑bodied with well‑integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The palate shows layers of dark fruit, spice and firm structure, leading to a long and elegant mineral finish. Some critics note a Pauillac‑like precision within its classic Bordeaux framework.

Smell: The nose is initially discreet but opens to reveal dark fruit notes of black cherry, plum and blackcurrant, complemented by hints of licorice, smoky oak and mineral nuances. Subtle herbal and earthy elements typical of classic Saint‑Estèphe can also be present.
