The 2018 Château Lafon-Rochet is a distinguished Fourth Growth (4ème Grand Cru Classé) from Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux, made from 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. The nose is expressive with blackcurrant, strawberry and raspberry, complemented by dark cherry, subtle florals, herbs and savoury spice.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with concentrated fruit, freshness and fine, structured tannins. Matured for at least 12 months in barrel, it combines ripe berry fruit with savoury complexity and a touch of cinnamon, leading to a smooth, balanced and persistent finish.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Bordeaux drinkers who enjoy concentrated Cabernet fruit, fine tannins and classic Saint-Estèphe structure with developing savoury complexity. Enjoy it now with decanting or cellar into the 2030s and beyond. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled steak, slow-braised beef, venison or mature hard cheeses.

About the region

Bordeaux · Saint-Estèphe

Bordeaux is blended wine, built around the Gironde estuary. On the left bank, deep gravel suits Cabernet Sauvignon, which anchors the firm, long-ageing reds of the Médoc and Pessac-Léognan. On the right bank, cooler clay and limestone favour Merlot and Cabernet Franc, giving the softer, earlier-drinking wines of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Upriver at Sauternes, autumn mists bring the botrytis that concentrates Sémillon into one of the great sweet wines.
