James Suckling:

"Plenty of fruit and concentration to this wine, and it's buttressed by the tannins. Muscular and intense. Full-bodied yet reserved and tight. Excellent."

Antonio Galloni:

"The 2016 Lafon-Rochet is a worthy follow-up to the 2015, although it is much less obvious than that wine. Scents of smoke, graphite, leather, wild cherry, lavender and blueberry give the 2016 its beguiling, expressive personality. Deep and concentrated but not big or overdone, it is likely to require at least a handful of years to be at its best. The long, persistent finish, punctuated by grippy tannins, is a thing of beauty. The 2016 has the most Cabernet ever at the estate. Proprietor Basile Tesseron told me he expects to increase plantings of Cabernet Franc at the property. Tasted three times."

The Wine Advocate

"The 2016 Lafon Rochet is a blend of 25% Merlot, 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot and 6% Cabernet Franc cropped at 46 hectoliters per hectare and matured in 50% new oak. The harvest was between 1 October and 20 October. The alcohol is 13.6%, which is just a little higher here than say Cos d'Estournel or Montrose. It has a very succinct bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and light oyster shell aromas, classic in style, more reserved than I found the 2015 Lafon Rochet last year. The palate is medium-bodied with powerful tannin on the entry, a keen line of acidity (3.65 pH), fine symmetry with a pleasant rondeur on the finish sprinkled with black pepper and tobacco. This is a very fine Lafon Rochet from Basile Tesseron and his team."

Decanter Magazine

"All the success of St-Estèphe in 2016 can be seen in Lafon-Rochet this year, where the 30mm of rain on 13th September and 13mm on 8th October, with nothing in between, allowed the clay, limestone and gravel soils to fully ripen the grapes. Owner Basile Tesseron says he had never seen such maturity in his Cabernet Sauvignons, and certainly we have hugely intense aromatics from the first nose. The palate features finessed and fleshed out mouthwatering black fruits making it hard not to love this. Tasted three times in total, and every time it stood out. Blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot aged in 30% new oak. 3.68pH. Drinking Window 2027 - 2045"

"Not the deepest crimson. Broad and rich and a bit beefy and yeast-extract-like. A tad scrawny on the end."

Jeff Leve

"Sweet dark, blackberry, cassis, floral and forest scents lead you to a finesse-styled wine. Full bodied, polished, fresh and spicy with a nice shot of juicy cassis in the finish -- it sounds like a great evening to me. This wine has a serious concentration of flavor and a party pack assortment of dark red fruits in the finish. Produced from a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, the wine reached 13.6% alcohol."

Jean-Marc Quarin

"Le meilleur jamais fait ! Couleur sombre, intense, belle et pourpre. Nez intense, fin, fruité, mûr, subtil. Caressant à l’attaque, particulièrement fruité au développement, très aromatique, ce vin s’envole entre le milieu et la finale vers une grande longueur sèveuse, savoureuse et noble au toucher. Un délice. Bravo ! Degré d’alcool : 13.5º (dans la moyenne), pH : 3.64 (dans la moyenne basse), IPT : 82 (dans la moyenne haute)."

Revue du Vin de France

"On retrouve un moelleux et une finesse de bouche très envoûtants dans ce 2016. C'est l'un des vins les plus aboutis de la propriété, qui progresse en termes de définition et d'éclat dans le fruit."

Roger Voss

"Barrel Sample. The great improvements at this estate have really paid off in this fine wine. Owned by another branch of the family that owns Pontet-Canet, the estate has produced a beautifully structured wine, packed with tannins and full of delicious blackberry fruits. It's a wine with a great future, to be held until 2028 and beyond."

"Very pure, with a lilac note leading the way for racy red currant and cassis flavors. The finish is alive, featuring a brisk iron note and long, pleasantly austere structure. Nicely done.—J.M."

Yves Beck

"Rouge grenat aux reflets violacés. Bouquet intense, fruité, complexe, terroiresque! Cassis, mûres, cèdre. La mise en bouche est dense, fruitée et rafraîchissante. Corps crémeux, harmonieux, doté de tannins élégants, parfaitement intégrés, et qui apparaissent en fin de bouche. La structure a de la répartie et équilibre l’ensemble du palais. Elle est de pair avec les tannins. Finale fruitée, persistante. Quelle superbe réussite!"
