2018 Les Pelerins de Lafon Rochet Saint Estèphe Bordeaux

A crunchy mouth, very supple and a good tannic structure.

A fresh finale with a sourish return, blackcurrant, cedar, slightly spicy.

Lafon Rochet has a great location, adjacent to Lafite Rotshchild and Cos d’Estournel in Saint Estephe. Later harvest and higher use of new oak have made the wine from Lafon Rocher more powerful and getting more attention from critics.

Les Pélerins is their second wine. Meaty on the nose yet with refined aromas of blackurrant and notes of tobacco. Full-bodied and robust with firm tannins and a good length.
