1855 Grand Cru Classe – 4th Growth, Saint-Estephe
The history of Chateau Lafon-Rochet goes back to the 16th century.
Domain Rochet, as it was known in the 17th century, got renamed to Lafon-Rochet following a marriage.
The chateau belonged to the Lafon family for more than 200 years.
In the 1960, the Tesseron Family acquired the chateau. Today, the third generation of the family manages the winery.
The renovations of the winery brought state-of-the-art technology.
The chateau grounds are very beautiful and the hospitality is welcoming. Do not miss visiting Chateau Lafon-Rochet on your Bordeaux wine tour.
