Description

Les Pelerins de Lafon Rochet 2016 vintage is a great 2nd wine of Chateau Lafon Rochet, one of the best value for money in Saint-Estephe appellation.

The Pelerins of Lafon Rochet 2016 are made from a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is an easy, elegant, fruity, charming wine, powerful with silky tannins.

With a fresh and complex nose dominated by red and black fruits, we discover a mouth full of power. Typical of a large St-Estephe, the mouth is racy, rich in tannin but with great flexibility that makes it immediately accessible. A bouquet of fruity and spicy aromatic notes adorn an elegant finish.

About the region

Bordeaux

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.
