2014 was one of those vintages when it was impossible not to sit up and take notice of what was happening at Lafon-Rochet. It's a totally brilliant wine bristling with energy, showing rich black fruits, cassis, liquorice and dark chocolate, all bound in a silky texture. It's still very young and tight, but manages to deliver - and then some. In 2014 the vineyard was biodynamic across 10ha of the 40ha. 50% new oak. 3.8pH.
