Another change of personnel, this time in Saint-Estèphe. Christophe Congé joined Lafon Rochet from Lafite-Rothschild after it was bought by Jacque Lorenzetti last year. In fact, Congé blended both the First Growth, just before departing, and the Lafon Rochet. I asked whether he foresees changes? “Lafon Rochet can produce good wines, but we must select more in the vineyard,” he replied. “The style of Lafon Rochet is elegant and fresh with smooth tannins, which are features we want to keep. It is a young technical team here, so they are open to new techniques.” He went on to explain that the estates under Lorenzetti, Pédesclaux and d’Issan are managed separately, so the buck stops with him.
