Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru 2014

94–95
/100

Næsen er meget tæt, meget sort, meget koncentreret. Men også rød frugt nedenunder, masser af solbær, der allerede i næsen udstråler syre og friskhed og race. Virkelig sprødt angreb i munden. Cabernet og intet andet. Søde røde peberfrugter, intet grønt, men høj syre, masser af bid og mineralitet. Lang, salt, kridtagtig finish og altid på vej op: ribs, koncentreret rød surkirsebær. Denne vin har virkelig klasse og er på niveau med Phélan Ségur og næsten på Calon Ségur. En stor succes! Den bedste vin her i lang tid.

Suckling om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

Here’s a St.-Estèphe that’s really appealing young but also has good aging potential. Great balance between crisp acidity, ripe fruit and elegant dry tannins. The finish is long and rather subtle. Hard not to drink now. 93/100

Decanter om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

I feel like this is the kind of vintage that really suits Lafon Rochet. It sometimes does not possess the weight of some of its neighbours in richer vintages, but in 2014 it has such a lovely finesse and epitomises the more elegant side of St-Estèphe. Lovely black fruit driven nose with ethereal top notes that give it an extra dimension. This is drinking beautifully now but will continue to improve and evolve for another two decades at least.

Galloni om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

The 2014 Lafon-Rochet does not quite possess the complexity of the 2014 Phélan-Ségur on the nose, broody and introspective but with aeration reveals very pure blackberry and bilberry scents, hints of brine/seawater, cedar and spice. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, plenty of tobacco tinged black fruit, saline and sappy in the mouth so that those taste-buds are flowing by the finish. The more I acquaint myself with this wine, the more I fall for its charms. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. 92/100

Min vinmager

Lafon Rochet

De 40 hektar vinmarker på Lafon Rochet ligger lige ved siden af Lafite-Rothschild og Cos d'Estournel. Tesseron-familien (bror til ejeren af Pontet-Canet) lod ejendommen totalrenovere i 1960'erne og indførte en række tekniske nyskabelser i kælderen.
