The 2015 Lafon-Rochet has a very perfumed bouquet. It's much more floral than the 2014 with rose petals, iris-infused red berry fruit, wild mint, and Provencal herbs, all beautifully defined. The palate is fleshy and rounded, with lithe tannins that frame the brisk red cherry and strawberry fruit. It's very cohesive and almost Burgundy-like towards the finish. This is a winsome Saint-Estèphe that will give much pleasure. Tasted at the Lafon-Rochet vertical at the property. June 2023

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. vinous.com, February 2018

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.

The medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Lafon-Rochet is reduced on the nose to begin, with tar and earth aromas over black fruits and herbs. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant and refreshing with firm, grainy tannins. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Interim Issue Mid-February 2018, The Wine Advocate

Fresh and direct, featuring a ripe beam of kirsch and black cherry fruit augmented by lilac and iron notes. Balanced, with a gentle structure.

Particularly dark. Rather beguiling. Perhaps a bit more evolved than most but rewarding. Nice lift at the end. Very fruity/juicy.
