The Médoc Rouge AOC “Légende R” 2020 by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) showcases the elegance of Bordeaux’s Left Bank through a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grown on gravelly and clay-limestone soils, imparting structure and finesse. Following hand harvesting and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel, the wine is aged in French oak barrels to soften the tannins and enhance aromatic complexity. The bouquet reveals ripe dark fruits, cassis, plum, tobacco, and delicate spices, while the palate is smooth, balanced, and persistent, with an elegant finish. Ideal with roast beef, game, stews, and aged cheeses.
