DECANTER : 87/100
"This has really attractive punch on the attack, with high aromatics of white pepper spice. There
is lots to recommend here, but it closes through the mid-palate and is a little dry on the finish.
It's Merlot dominant, although there is an almost equal amount of Cabernet Franc alongside the
Petit Verdot, which contributes to the lovely cinnamon spice. Owned by Bérangère Tesseron,
the wife of Basile at Château Lafon-Rochet, who is the latest in a long line of women owners at
the property. The vineyard is located in Cissac-Médoc, close to Pauillac."
