Chateau Lafon-Rochet, Saint-Estephe, France 2020 Domaine Gouron although smallThe 2020 Lafon Rochet represents the essence of classicism in Bordeaux. Medium in body and finely cut, Lafon Rochet is one of the classiest, more refined Saint Estphes readers will come across. Dark fruit, earthiness, lavender, licorice, menthol and cloves add nuance, but it is the wine's balance and vibrancy that impress most. Give the tannins a few years to melt away. Superb. Best after 2030. 96 Pts Vinous
