Château Lafon-Roche 是波爾多 Saint-Estèphe 產區的酒莊，屬於1855分級制度的四級酒莊。葡萄園佔地41公頃，種植Cabernet Sauvignon及Merlot為主，以及小量 Cabernet Franc及Petit Verdot。土壤由不同土質組成，包括黏土和有助排水的礫石，風土獨特。葡萄藤樹齡由最年輕的35歲，到最老的可追溯至1938年。它們的產量雖少，卻為葡萄酒賦了濃郁而複雜的味道。現時葡萄仍以人手採收，於不鏽鋼缸內發酵，並在法國橡木桶內陳年。
酒莊過去多年一直由Tesseron家族經營，但2021是他們釀造的最後一個年份。現時由地產界的富豪Jacky Lorenzetti家族收購，他們同時亦是châteaux Pédesclaux、Lilian-Ladouys 和 d'Issan的莊主。

品酒筆記：
(Robert Parker's rating: 90 points)
在深沉的紫色葡萄酒中，感覺到純淨、新鮮、甜美、濃郁的藍莓和波森莓果香，以及淡淡的墨水香氣都令人留下深刻印象。口感豐富、單寧甜美、輪廓分明。暫時仍在沉睡中，假以時日將會甦醒。(記於2010年；適飲期: 2020-2035)
Château Lafon-Rochet is a winery in the Saint-Estèphe appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. The wine produced here was classified as one of ten Quatrièmes Crus (Fourth Growths) in the historic Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.
The Chateau has 41 hectares planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The vines used for the First Wine are at least 35 years old, the oldest some dating back to 1938, which yield less fruit but lend greater complexity to the wines.
The Chateau has been owned by the Tesseron family, 2021 was the last vintage produced by them. It is now acquired by the real-estate billionaire Jacky Lorenzetti families, who is the owner of châteaux Pédesclaux、Lilian-Ladouys and d'Issan.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 90 points)
The purity, freshness, and sweet, rich, blueberry and boysenberry fruit and hint of pen ink that are found in this opaque purple-colored wine are impressive. Massive in the mouth, with freshness, delineation, and sweet tannin, it is a major sleeper of the vintage that should last for 25+ years. (Issued in 2010, drink date: 2020-2035)
