Domaines Barons de Rothschild Légende R Bordeaux 2017
Bordeaux, FranceDiane Flamand had overseen the Légende R range since 2004 when the acclaimed oenologist returned to the house where she first interned at 21. Intended as an introductory Bordeaux, ready to drink every day, this 60/40 blend of cabernet sauvignon/merlot from the Entre-Deux-Mers rested 9 months in vats, 40% was in oak vats, with the remainder in stainless. Juicy black cherry, raspberry, takes the simple palate, with finely powdery/grippy tannins taking this to a shorter, snappy finish, with a faint cedar / gravelly note—elementary Bordeaux for novices.Tasted: 20 February 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $23.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
