Deep crimson-purple color. Elegant, refined nose, mingling toasted and vanilla notes with aromas of blackberries and liquorice. Full-bodied, rich and smooth on the palate, with a silky tannic structure and a long aftertaste of red fruit and graphite.
“Les Légendes R wines are created by blending carefully selected wines. The art lies in creating from this fine selection a style that embodies the quintessence of their appellation. It’s an exciting adventure every year.” Diane Flamand oenologist, responsible for Les Légendes R
Our Saint Émilion is a confidential vintage, composed mainly of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It has a complex but supple tannic structure, balanced by the fruity roundness of the plum and black cherry aromas.
The Domaine de Barons Rothschild Lafite teams have been producing exceptional Merlots on the Right Bank for nearly thirty years, so it was natural for Les Légendes R to offer a Saint Émilion.
The selection of a great Saint Émilion for our range required several years of intensive work by our winemakers to find a wine that would truly respect our style while being faithful to its terroir.
It is a silky, harmonious wine with a distinguished bouquet of red fruit and toast. Les Légendes R Saint Émilion is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, some of which are new. Suave on the palate, with silky tannins, it is a wine of great persistence.
