Located in a superb region between Lafite Rothschild and Cos d'Estournel, Lafon Rochet has some of the most prestigious wine-producing neighbours in the world. The history of the Chateau dates back to 1650, when Antoinette de Guillemotte gave the ownership of an estate named 'Rochette' to her husband Pierre de Lafon. Hence the Chateau adopted his name to become Chateau Lafon-Rochet, and the Chateau remained in the Lafon family for over two centuries. The family invested a lot of time into producing good wine and their efforts were rewarded when the Chateau was included in the 1855 Classification. 40% new barrels. Parker, 89+. (12 x 75 cl)

In 1811, Louis Gaspard d'Estournel set out to produce wine of the very best quality in the hamlet of Cos. He was a dealer in Arab horses, which were shipped to and from the Far East, accompanied, eventually, by some bottles of the Estournel wine. Some of the consignment came back and it was noticed that the bottles had developed exceedingly well. D'Estournel decided all of his wine would make a sea journey and to emphasise his connections with the Far East he built a chateau in the style of an Oriental temple, complete with Pagoda towers. The success of these wines is due to the expert management of Bruno Prats who has invested on a large scale and has made many fundamental improvements. The vigorous taste holds nuances of ripe fruit, plus chocolate, coffee and spices. Gravel ridges, mixed with sand, clay and a limestone subsoil. 50-100% of virgin barriques new oak. (12 x 75 cl)
