Chateau Lafon Rochet 在1855 年波爾多評級列為4級莊，歷史可追溯至17世紀，發展歷程長達4個世紀。最初，酒莊名字為   Domaine Rochet，所有者為   Antoinettede Guillamotes。她與Etiennede Lafon 結婚後，酒莊就易名為如今的Chateau Lafon Rochet。Lafon家族繼承並管理該酒莊長達150餘年。這期間，酒莊遭受了各種自然災害，也遇到了經濟難題，但在拉楓家族的帶領下，酒莊依舊憑藉自身實力成為了波爾多1855列級莊中的四級莊。

目前莊主Michel Tesseron 也是 Chateau Pontet Canet 的莊主。Saint Estephe 產區係   Haut-Medoc 4個產區中最北的一個，土壤以礫石為主，而這區亦不乏偉大的酒莊，包括玫瑰山莊園（ChateauMontrose） & 愛士圖爾莊園（Chateau Cos d'Estournel）!

酒莊名稱 Rochet 來自法文 Roches 石頭之意，呼應所在的村莊Saint-Estephe典型的礫石地形，酒莊本身坐落一塊碎石臺地之上，俯瞰同村二級酒莊   Cos d’Estournel 和臨村Pauillac 的 Chateau Lafite，吉隆河近在咫尺，地理條件優越。

以莊園為中心，四周環繞著 45 公頃的葡萄園，園內區分成 40個小區，遍佈石灰岩、礫石和黏土組成的土壤。葡萄園內種植著57%赤霞珠（CabernetSauvignon），37%梅洛（Merlot）、4% 小維多（Petit Verdot）以及2% 品麗珠（Cabernet Franc），平均樹齡約40歲。

Lafon-Rochet 最具代表性的特徵是撲鼻而來濃郁複雜的黑色漿果香氣，圓潤滋味表現出 Saint-Estephe 的獨特個性，單寧圓滑，質地均衡優雅，引領而出溫潤優雅的風格。

At present, this structured, backward 2005 is dominated by the vintage's substantial tannins. It exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color, a reticent but promising bouquet of sweet black fruits inter mixed with weedy tobacco, licorice, and leather characteristics.Medium-bodied and powerful, with excruciating tannin, but promising potential,patience is most definitely required. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2030.

Has notes of blackberry, with Indian spices and green tea. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins, a silky texture and a medium finish. Balanced and very refined. A beautiful young wine.

A sweet violet aroma adds to this wine's finesse while gravelly tannins give it a classical St-Estèphe profile. It feels sleek,firm and finely crafted, with meaty density of fruit that will sustain it for years to come.

The best of the St. Estephes if you measure"goodness" by the old-fashioned model of tight fruit and tighter tannins, this solid youngster will let you put it away for ten or twenty years before rewarding you for the effort. There is no mistaking that is has a good grip on Cabernet character just as there is no mistaking its tannic grip on your palate.
