Cabernet Sauvignon is planted in the vineyards, along with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wines are made in either a Merlot- or Cabernet-dominant style depending on the vintage.The property dates back to the 17th Century and was given fourth growth status in the 1855 Classification of the Médoc and Graves. By the late 1950s, the estate was in a state of disrepair, the vineyards were sparse, and the winery was unusable.Guy Tesseron (of the Tesseron family – internationally known as Cognac producers) took over the château in 1960 and set about restoring the estate. The ferment room and wine storehouse were rebuilt and restored. The château building was knocked down and rebuilt.The family members decided to paint the manor house yellow and change the labels on both the grand vin and second wine to reflect this. The yellow remains an aspect of the estate's branding today.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42826274013322,"sku":"","price":1840.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/17_e74c1f1d-bff2-436b-939f-e75972fb7564.png?v=1678175972","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/es-dk\/products\/1998-chateau-lafon-rochet-saint-estephe","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
