Les Legendes Bordeaux Blanc 2023, A.C. Bordeaux, France
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.
Fresh and aromatic, the nose offers pronounced citrus fruit, white peach, passion fruit and delicate minerality. The palate is dry with lovely crisp fruit and a mineral focused finish. This classic Bordeaux Blanc blend provides refreshing acidity, derived from the Sauvignon, which helps to cut the peachy honeyed character of the Semillon. This is great value dry white Bordeaux, drink this summer with a range of light fresh dishes.
