Château Lafon-Rochet

The origins of Château Lafon-Rochet date back to the 17th century. Located in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, Château Lafon-Rochet was awarded the title of Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Since 1960, the estate has changed hands several times. First it was bought by Guy Tesseron, who is credited with having relaunched the estate, taking Château Lafon-Rochet to the top of its appellation. From 2007, it was then the turn of Basile Tesseron, son of Michel Tesseron, who ran the estate until September 2021, when Jacky Lorenzetti, entrepreneur and founder of the Foncia Group, took over the estate to complete his Bordeaux 'portfolio'. The symbol of the estate is a beautiful country house, typical of the south-west of France, with a golden yellow colour. Its vineyard covers some 40 hectares, in a superb location, with vines averaging 38 years of age, planted on two hills with different terroirs.
