Lafon Rochet - Saint-Estèphe 2022

Lafon Rochet, a new era has begun

Lafon Rochet, Grand Cru Classé in 1855, stands out on the road to the Médoc with its well-known golden yellow façade. A color that is both bold and warm, and which rightly represents the values of Michel, and his son Basile, Tesseron. Under the Tesseron's era, the estate was back in the spotlight.
In September 2021, a new chapter in the history of this Saint-Estèphe estate began. The Lorenzetti family, another committed and dynamic family, bought the estate. The family shares the same values of respect for the land entrusted to them and the men who shape it. Their ambition is to carry its famous colors high.

In March 2022, Christophe Congé was appointed General Manager of Lafon Rochet. After having spent more than 20 years at Domaines Barons de Rothschild, his main mission will be to go even further in the sense of detail. A new era full of ambition and with great promise is beginning for this grand cru. 

The 2022 vintage

A new chapter is being written with the 2022 vintage: the first produced entirely under the ownership of the Lorenzetti family. Early indications of substantial ageing potential, due to its complexity and balance, lends itself to future commemoration.

"Once again, Lafon-Rochet is the most elegant wine in Saint-Estèphe.  The 2022 signals a new era for the château that is likely to see a greater focus on selection and a slightly richer style. Even so, the signatures of Lafon-Rochet are evident. It's an exciting time." Antonio Galloni, 95-97pts

The abundant clay layers of Château Lafon-Rochet grant it an effortless resilience in the face of hot, dry weather. In this wine, the noble elegance of Pauillac converges seamlessly with the commanding strength of Saint-Estèphe. It delivers an astonishing concentration while preserving a refined, crystalline structure—an achievement seldom seen in previous vintages. Perfumed with violets, cedar, asphalt, and graphite, the aromas rise like stirring musical notes, intertwining into a majestic symphony evocative of Wagner’s grandest works. For me, the 2022 vintage marks a pinnacle for Château Lafon-Rochet—a moment when the legendary Valkyrie lifts her spear in triumph. It’s a scene that calls unmistakably for Ride of the Valkyries as its fitting soundtrack.

The 2022 Lafon-Rochet is a rich, ripe, somewhat Napa-styled Saint-Estèphe, offering up aromas of sweet jammy berries, fig preserve, licorice and creamy new oak, followed by a full-bodied, soft and fat palate. Readers who gravitate toward this style of wine will love it.

New team under ex-Lafite winemaker Christophe Congé (who will be heading to sibling estate Pédéslaux for the 2025 vintage), there is plenty happening at Lafon Rochet, and this is intense enjoyable, well put together, slight rustic tannins on the finish that emphasise their edges a little more than during En Primeur, but this seems set for the long haul, and is balanced by plentiful black fruits. 50% new oak for ageing, 60% 1st wine, down from 70% in 2021, as the new team focuses heavily on quality.

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.

65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc Le bouquet de Lafon-Rochet se révèle avec une rare élégance. Lui qui est souvent rebelle dans sa jeunesse, affiche un profil plus conciliant, plus accessible, sans pour autant renoncer à son caractère. Et il en a beaucoup ! Il se révèle avec subtilité et profondeur, avec moult détails dédiés à la finesse au travers de nuances de réglisse, de baies noires et de nuances minérales, respectivement de mines de crayon puis, quand-même, un peu de réduction ! En bouche, le vin affiche d'abord de la finesse. C'est relativement nouveau également ! Il se dévoile en crescendo et accentue sa puissance le long du palais. C'est bien la finesse qui mène ce vin de l'avant et qui maîtrise ses ambitions dédiés à la puissance, mais aussi à l'harmonie. Un vin linéaire et précis qui se distingue par une élégance rarement perceptible à ce stade, sans pour autant remettre en question son aptitude à passer du temps en cave. 2029-2052 96/100

The 2022 Lafon-Rochet was bottled in June 2024. This has a delightful, well-defined bouquet with pure aromas of blackberry and blueberry with touches of iris flower percolating through. This is nicely controlled. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. It is "old-school" Lafon-Rochet in a way and introspective compared to others, with firm grip. This is "serious" with a tannic, slightly briny finish. Give this three to five years in bottle.

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.

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.

An exceptional wine in 2022. Fresh and fragrant lovely strawberry and red cherry notes on the nose. Smooth and round, generous and deep, a lovely immediate intensity of flavour while keeping a sleek and tense expression. Gorgeous weight in the mouth, supple, and nicely fruited but with density and roundness. Feels really well worked, so defined and detailed, a lovely precision. Nothing feels out of place and it has a very drinkable and approachable quality, still with a dark liquorice and dark chocolate edge and some graphite touches. Extremely complete and well made with control and finesse. Total acidity: 3.35. 3.77pH.

Château Lafon-Rochet, with its ample clay layers, faced the dry and scorching 2022 vintage with ease. This wine embodies the nobility of Pauillac and the robustness of Saint-Estèphe. Its remarkable concentration is complemented by the clarity of the body, which left me pleasantly surprised. The aromas of violet, cedar, tar, and graphite blend like an orchestration of Wagnerian proportions. In my opinion, this vintage is destined to be a glorious moment for Château Lafon-Rochet, heralding the return of the "Valkyrie".

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Lafon-Rochet has a pH of 3.77 and a TPI of 83. It has a deep garnet-purple color and after a bit of shaking it erupts with intense scents of fresh blackcurrants, black raspberries, and kirsch, followed by hints of underbrush, camphor and iron ore. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and yet possesses lovely freshness, featuring ripe, grainy tannins and loads of mineral sparks which lift the ripe black fruit to a long finish. Impressive effort for the first full vintage under the new management!

Le bouquet de Lafon Rochet se révèle avec une belle intensité au travers de notes épicées, crayeuses et fruitées. Invitants parfums de mûres et de sureau. En bouche le vin a de l'ampleur, de la puissance. Il est bien tenu par des compacts aux grains fins en phase avec la fraîcheur de la structure. Le vin est harmonieux, sphérique, précis et persistant. Finale légèrement saline, de longue persistance. Une très belle réussite.

Grande couleur, vin bien équilibré, complexe, d’une texture élégante et maîtrisée, mais n’égalant pas le jour de notre dégustation celle de quelques-uns de ses pairs. Le cru se révèle souvent sa force tranquille en bouteille.

One of the bigger, more structured wines in Saint-Estèphe, the 2022 Château Lafon-Rochet checks in as 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. Ripe blackcurrants, smoky blue fruits, scorched earth, and chocolate all define the aromatics, and this concentrated, medium to full-bodied, powerful wine has ample mid-palate depth, ripe yet significant tannins, and a great finish. It's not for the instant gratification crowd and is going to need 7-8 years, if not a decade, of cellaring. It's a beautiful wine though, worthy of purchasing and cellaring. 93-95+

The 2022 Lafon-Rochet is fabulous. Once again, Lafon-Rochet is the most elegant wine in Saint-Estèphe. There's a bit more richness and mid-palate intensity than in the past, likely a combination of the year and the approach of the new team headed by Technical Director Christophe Congé, who was formerly at Lafite-Rothschild. The 2022 signals a new era for the château that is likely to see a greater focus on selection and a slightly richer style. Even so, the signatures of Lafon-Rochet are evident. It's an exciting time.

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.

The inaugural vintage for winemaker Christophe Congé, the 2022 Lafon-Rochet is an ambitiously styled blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Offering up aromas of crème de cassis, burning embers and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and velvety, with supple, generously extracted tannins and a rather lavish, demonstrative profile. It's a wine crafted to grab one's attention, but if élevage is kind to it, it may make my score seem conservative.
