Lafon Rochet

2009 Saint-Estephe Red Blend

The Wine Trust Lafon Rochet is a captivating red blend from the renowned Saint-Estèphe region, showcasing the rich heritage and superior terroir of this distinguished appellation. This 2009 vintage reveals a lovely deep red color that hints at the depth of flavor within. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied experience with vibrant acidity that elevates the wine's profile, making it both refreshing and complex. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of dark berries, plums, and subtle hints of tobacco and spice, which harmoniously intertwine with the wine's notable tannins that provide a firm structure. While it has just the right amount of dryness, the overall character is beautifully balanced, inviting further exploration and enjoyment. This is truly a classic representation of its region, perfect for pairing with hearty meals or for savoring on its own.
