Tasting notes
The 2019 Les Pélerins de Lafon-Rochet has a fragrant bouquet of brambly red fruit, cedar and touches of mint and heather. The palate is medium-bodied with a pliant, approachable entry and fine acidity; no hard edges here. Notes of sour cherry and tobacco appear toward the finish. Fine.

Unfussy earthy notes of raspberry and red cherry, touches of dried bay leaf and white pepper. Dry tannins on the finish. The penultimate vintage under Basile Tesseron, just as this wine is reaching the market, ownership has changed from the Tesseron family to Jacky Lorenzetti.
