Vinous, 96 Points 

"The 2020 Lafon-Rochet represents the essence of classicism in Bordeaux.  Medium in body and finely-cut, Lafon-Rochet is one of the classiest, more refined Saint-Estephes readers will come across.  Dark fruit, earthiness, lavender, licorice, menthol and cloves add nuance, but it is the wine’s balance and vibrancy that impresses most.  Give the tannins a few years to melt away.  Superb." 

Decanter, 93 Points 

"Attractive, well-paced fruits, plenty of clarity to the flavours, together with a feeling of linearity to the tannins. Austerity through the mid-palate constrains the brambled cassis fruit, but things build back up again and this is a measured, successful wine that will age well. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend. First year with Eric Boissenot accompanying Jean-Claude Berrouet as consultants.

Jeb Dunnuck, 93 Points 

"Showing the pretty, elegant style of the vintage, the 2020 Château Lafon-Rochet exbibits a ruby/purple hue to go with a perfumed bouquet of ripe black cherries, spring flowers, graphite, and violets. Medium-bodied and elegant, with firm tannins, it needs 4-6 years of bottle age and should evolve for two decades in cold cellars.

Alcohol: 13.5%
