Viniou Reviews

The Lafon-Rochet 2015 from Saint-Estèphe is a quintessential Bordeaux wine, exemplifying the finesse and complexity typical of a Grand Cru from this esteemed region. This rouge is crafted near the Gironde estuary, benefitting from a microclimate with a balance of maritime influence and moderate temperatures, ideal for grape maturity. The 2015 vintage was exceptional across Bordeaux, enhancing the wine's structure and depth. The Château Lafon-Rochet, with a rich history dating back to the 17th century, is renowned for its dedication to traditional yet innovative vinification techniques, contributing to a wine that elegantly embodies rich fruit, balanced tannins, and a noteworthy aromatic complexity.

For pairing, this Saint-Estèphe's robust and complex character speaks to hearty dishes such as rack of lamb, beef Wellington, or even a classic French cassoulet. Its structured tannins and depth also make it an excellent match for aged hard cheeses like Comté or Parmigiano Reggiano. For a regional experience, consider a pairing with duck confit, a dish that complements the wine's savoury notes and elegant structure, creating a harmonious dining experience.

When tasting, serve this Bordeaux at around 16-18°C for optimal expression. Decant at least one hour in advance to allow the wine to open up and reveal its layered bouquet. Start by observing its deep, enticing colour. On the nose, enjoy the aromas of dark fruit, cedar, and earthy nuances. On the palate, savour its full-bodied structure, a blend of ripe blackcurrant and a hint of tobacco, finishing with fine, velvety tannins.
