The 2015 Lafon-Rochet is gorgeous. Beautifully layered and polished in the glass the 2015 oozes with pedigree. The flavors are bright and beautifully delineated throughout. Rose petal mint savory herb and bright red-toned fruit add to the wine's vivid nuanced personality. In 2015 Lafon-Roche is all class. The blend is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon 35% Merlot 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. This is a terrific showing from Basile Tesseron and consulting winemaker Jean-Claude Berrouet.

"Very perfumed with blackberries blueberries and cloves. Dried lavender as well. Full body and linear and refined tannins. Pretty spices come together with the clean fruit at the end. Hard not to drink now but two or three years of bottle age will pull it together. Drink in 2020."
Wine Advocate: 90-92 Points
"The 2015 Lafon Rochet is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon 35% Merlot 6% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot picked between 25 September and 9 October. Matured in 40% to 50% new oak from eight coopers including Stockinger since last year it has a dense blackberry and boysenberry scented bouquet that is a little more voluptuous than its peers. The palate is again quite dense with "stocky" tannin obdurate and a little hard at the moment structured and clearly a Lafon-Rochet that is built for the long-term. It will need several years to just lose its brutishness." -Neal Martin
