“The 2015 Lafon-Rochet, with its garnet color and violet hues, has an initially reduced nose, with smoky, earthy aromas dominating over black fruit and herbs. The medium-bodied palate is energetic and refreshing, with firm, grainy tannins.” (Wine Advocate 2018 - Lisa Perrotti-Brown). Delivered in a wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Pickup Point delivery method)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2019 guide) 17,5/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide): 4 stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the wine:
A full-bodied, well-rounded wine that perfectly embodies its vintage, with a rich body, opulent texture, and harmonious tannins—everything needed to age beautifully.
About the estate:
One of the last family-owned estates still under direct management, this 1855 classified growth receives Basile Tesseron’s undivided attention. With expert guidance from Jean-Claude Berrouet, he draws out the best of his Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes to produce a flavorful, consistent wine that offers exceptional value for money within the Saint-Estèphe appellation. Impressive progress in 2020.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2018 guide) 17,5/20 (Great wine)
Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Full-bodied yet refined and silky, this 2015 vintage marks a turning point for the estate. Don't miss it, especially since it remains very affordable.
About the estate:
This lovely Saint-Estèphe wine has just come under the ownership of businessman Jacky Lorenzetti, who already owns Châteaux Pédesclaux and Lilian Ladouys and is a co-owner of Issan. A dedicated team is in charge of taking this wine—which clearly has great potential—to even greater heights. It will be very interesting to follow its progress. The previous vintages, produced under the guidance of Basile Tesseron, are quite good and represent good value.
