The 45 hectares of Château Lafon-Rochet’s vineyards span across two hillsides in Saint-Estèphe. On one side, the gravel provides excellent natural drainage, which is optimal for our Cabernet Sauvignon. On the other, the clay regulates natural water reserves and provides our vines a perfect balance.
The majority of our vines are Cabernet Sauvignon (48%) and Merlot (45%), complemented by plots of Petit Verdot (3.5%) and Cabernet Franc (3.5%), which add complexity to our wines.

The vines are around 38 years old on average, with some plots having been planted over 80 years ago
In the notes of our trusted reference, journalist Jane Anson, it is mentioned that the winery has made great strides in recent years.
The wine we tasted (now with a label color that has changed compared to the past) still shows great vitality. Unfortunately, the bottle had a cork that did not perform at its best, but the wine’s excellent expressive potential is evident. Rating 91
