This red wine is part of the grandmaster of the wine world, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). And they're no strangers, as they produce some of the world's top wines. The name comes from the term "la hite," meaning "little hill." Over the years, the winery has achieved immense fame and expanded its vineyards. The quality of the grapes was, and remains, unparalleled. With this quality, the winery captivates the international wine press year after year, earning them exceptional awards every year.
Wood aging for the Legende Bordeaux
In addition to the top vineyards in Pauillac, the Barons de Rothschild also wanted to produce wines in keeping with their history and traditions, but at a premium price. This red Legende Bordeaux is such a prime example. This beautiful red wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes grown in the heart of Bordeaux. The hallmarks of the Bordeaux vineyards are the elegance and freshness of the grapes, which, while reflecting a rich culture and steeped in a certain grandeur, are still easy to drink. The vineyards are a Legend, and this is where the name derives from. Once the grapes are ripe after a long growing period, they are harvested by hand and then partially aged for nine months in oak barrels. This gives this red Bordeaux its strength and finesse.
Full and very powerful this red wine Legend
A French wine made according to ancient traditions with all modern winemaking techniques. It's simply a joy to drink. Made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, this red wine is full of power and richness. As soon as the bottle is opened, we immediately smell a beautiful swarm of cassis fruit and some hints of the wooden barrel. Upon pouring, we see a beautiful deep red color with purple hues. The aroma evokes a warm feeling, with lovely classic aromas of blackberries, plums, vanilla, oak, and spices like pepper and cinnamon. The palate is perfectly balanced, with lovely light tannins and rich flavors of black fruit. A touch of spice, vanilla, and oak on the back of the tongue completes this red Legende Bordeaux.
