Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru 2022

96
/100

Lafon Rochet 2022 har en meget elegant næse af sorte kirsebær, men ikke sød. Også cassis, uden sukker, uden sødme, lakrids, uden fedt. Fin og ligetil. En meget flot Saint-Estèphe, fordi den er så afbalanceret. Munden er helt samlet. Sort igen, uden tvivl, men sort og ligefrem. Meget harmonisk, god kraft, rent defineret til venstre og højre. Meget flot Saint-Estèphe og ikke langt efter Phélan Ségur. Gode sager, hvis prisen er rigtig. 96/100 *** Lafon Rochets 40 hektar vinmarker ligger ved siden af Lafite-Rothschild og Cos. Vinen blev certificeret biodynamisk, faldt så ud igen og er nu tilbage i omlægning til økologi med de nye købere, som også ejer Pedesclaux. Fantastisk terroir, en udfordrer til jagten på Calon-Ségur, på linje med Phélan Ségur og Meyney.

Årsrapporten

2022 vil gå over i historien som en fremragende årgang med hensyn til kvalitet. Og det på trods af, at det var den tørreste sommer i Frankrig, siden man begyndte at registrere den, og det varmeste år i det hele taget siden 1947.

Galloni om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

The 2022 Lafon-Rochet is pure class. Silky, aromatic and gracious, Lafon-Rochet is quite possibly the most under-the-radar Saint-Estèphe. Bright blue/purplish fruit, lavender, sage, mint and spice are all beautifully delineated. A wine of sublime elegance and class, Lafon-Rochet is exquisite in 2022.

Suckling om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

Deep and ripe but still very demure on the nose, with dark chocolate, cigar box, blackcurrants, white pepper and a touch of graphite. Very juicy and nicely chewy on the palate, with a full body and a tight, lengthy finish. This won’t be approachable until 2029.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

Rocking notes of currants, leafy tobacco, cassis, graphite, and crushed stone nuances all emerge from the 2022 Château Lafon-Rochet, a seriously good, concentrated, powerful expression from this château that has beautiful purity, ripe, building, yet substantial tannins, and a great finish. It's going to need some time, but this is brilliant.

Decanter om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

Silky smooth with excellent freshness, firm fleshy tannins and a minty, liquorice-tinged freshness throughout. Tannins are fine and supportive and give this a broad mouthfeel while keeping direction and forward motion. Sophisticated with plenty of layers of flavour while keeping a classic touch despite the tough vintage conditions. Still a little shy, give this a few years, but great potential for future enjoyment. Strength and succulence. Brilliant.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Lafon Rochet 4eme Cru

Rich in color, the wine is floral, with pepper, spice, tobacco leaf, currants, and blackberries. Medium-bodied, fresh, soft, ripe, round, and polished, with blackberries, black cherries, chocolate, spice, and cedar nuances. The fruits are fresh, bright, and creamy. Give this just a few years in the bottle and it promise to be even better! The wine was made from blending 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. 14.5% ABV, 3.77 pH. This is the first vintage with the new owner, Jackie Lorenzetti, and the team of Emmanuel Cruse, fully in charge. Drink from 2025-2045.

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.
