Château
Château Lafon-Rochet
A fourth growth of 1855 in Saint-Estèphe, Lafon-Rochet sits on the rise that separates Cos d'Estournel from Lafite Rothschild, on the Pauillac boundary. The château was rebuilt in the 1960s, and its façade was long painted bright yellow, a landmark that became the growth's signature.
