Les Pelerins is the second label of Lafon-Rochet, a Fourth Growth estate and one of the classic chateaux in Saint-Estephe. Located just north or Pauillac, this region is populated by more than 3,000 acres of vines planted in gravel, clay, and sand. Among Left Bank wines, it seems St-Estèphe gets passed over for Pauillac, St.-Julien, and Margaux, but we think this AOC is definitely worth exploring - especially at $39 from a really good vintage. And even better, second labels like Les Pelerins are made to be enjoyed early. This 2014 is ready to drink!
