Crafted under the supervision of Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), Légende Médoc 2013 exemplifies the classic Left Bank structure derived from the gravelly soils of the Médoc peninsula. The cool 2013 growing season shaped a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend focused on aromatic precision, linear acidity, and lower alcohol volume.
Maturation in French oak provides a delicate frame, integrating subtle wood spice without overwhelming the fruit core. The result is a refined, classically styled Bordeaux that highlights regional typicity through savory fruit, graphite notes, and quiet structural balance.
Tasting notes
Displays a translucent ruby hue with subtle garnet evolution at the rim. The nose yields aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, cedar, and dried herbs. Medium-bodied on the palate, it presents a lean structure driven by energetic acidity and fine-grained tannins, concluding with lingering savory berry and tobacco notes.
