One of Saint-Estèphe's oldest estates, with origins dating to the 16th century, Lafon-Rochet was classified as a \u003cem\u003eQuatrième Grand Cru Classé\u003c\/em\u003e in 1855. In late 2021, the Lorenzetti family acquired the estate, bringing in Technical Director Christophe Congé — formerly of Lafite-Rothschild — to lead a new chapter of precision and ambition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eChâteau Lafon-Rochet Saint-Estèphe 2022 750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e signals that new era emphatically. The 2022 vintage brings more richness and mid-palate intensity than in the past, while preserving the estate's signature elegance. Fresh strawberry and red cherry on the nose give way to a palate of gorgeous weight and suppleness — currants, cassis, graphite, dark chocolate, and crushed stone — with ripe, building tannins and a long, precise finish. Antonio Galloni of Vinous calls it \"the most elegant wine in Saint-Estèphe.\" An exciting new chapter for a great estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eExpert Reviews - Vintage 2022\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinous (Antonio Galloni) — 95–97 Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Fabulous.
