Les Legendes R Medoc 2020, A.C. Medoc, France

£22.50

Les Légendes ‘R’ is a collection consisting of five wines produced by Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). The range was introduced in the 1980’s under the name ‘Reserve de Barons’ at the request of friends and family. The wines are intended to provide immediate charm and approachability, without the need to cellar. The grapes are collected from Lafite’s partnership projects, in which technical advisors work very closely with growers to ensure the resulting grapes meet the highest possible standard in order to adorn the DBR emblem.

This vintage exhibits a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, of which 50% is aged in French oak – the rest in stainless steel to retain freshness and purity of fruit. The nose offers an array of black fruit, earthy toasted spice and cedar. There’s a freshness and crunch to the palate which will ensure this wine cellars well. However, a quick decant enables the silky plush edge to come through which allows for immediate pleasure.
