During the harvest, I predicted that Château Lafon-Rochet would shine in the vintage of 2022, but I never expected the second label to be so exceptional. Thanks to the nourishment of clay beneath the gravel soil, the grapes grew exceptionally well, and revealing delicate hints of violet and pure berry fragrance. As the finish approaches, a tightly woven texture of tannins gradually unfolds, making this second label resemble a Grand Cru in quality.

49% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot Belle expression du bouquet qui révèle de classiques nuances minérales, un peu de réduction et des notes de baies noires, sans oublier la fraîcheur. En bouche, le vin adopte un profil linéaire, soyeux et continu. Il se révèle sans accrocs avec précision et harmonie. Soutenu par des tannins aux grains fins, le vin annonce une grandeur insoupçonnée et ouvre la voie au grand vin. Un vin de caractère qu'il faudra savoir attendre. 2028-2042 93/100

The 2022 Les Pélerins de Lafon-Rochet has a crisp blackberry- and bilberry-scented nose with neatly integrated oak. This is quite precise for a second wine. The palate is medium-bodied and, as I wrote in my primeur report, I just found the tannins a little coarse and hard. This is a bit of a gruff Saint-Estèphe.

Smooth and sleek, lovely silky fruitiness combined with quite fleshy, but powdery and juicy tannins giving a really delicate, almost light expression that has mineral markers and lots of life. Nice energy and unfussiness. Crisp and sharp but with depth too. Succulent and mouthwatering, clean and pure, with bite and lingering liquorice and minerality.

A blend of 49% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Petit Verdot, Les Pelerins de Lafon-Rochet 2022 has a pH of 3.73. It is deep garnet-purple in color with notes of stewed black plums, blackberry preserves, and blueberry compote leaping from the glass, followed by hints of sandalwood and allspice. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers intense black fruit layers, with plenty of freshness and nice, ripe rounded tannins, finishing with lovely purity.

The second wine of Château Lafon-Rochet, the 2022 Les Pelerins De Lafon-Rochet is forward and charming, with both red and black fruits as well as medium to full body, supple tannins, good overall balance, and outstanding length.

The 2022 Les Pelerins de Lafon-Rochet is a bold, punchy second wine. Succulent dark cherry, plum, lavender, menthol, licorice and mocha fill out the layers nicely. This is an especially succulent, deep wine with real textural intensity and plenty of character, although done in a very different style than in the past. The purity of the fruit and quality of the tannins are signatures of a first-class site. Drinking window : 2025-2037

Forward, and fruity with black cherries, licorice, and cocoa accents, the wine is medium-bodied, forward, soft, round, fresh, and fruity with a hint of chocolate at the end of the finish. This is perfect for early-drinking pleasure. Drink from 2025-2032.
