Domaine Barons De Rothschild Lafite Description
“Les Légendes R Bordeaux blanc is the story of two friends. Every year, to convince Jacques to accompany him to the oyster shacks of Cap Ferret, André promises him that they will be accompanied by a glass of white Bordeaux.”
The bravest man the world has ever seen is the first to eat a raw oyster,” goes the old saying. Jacques, however, is not so bold. But once a year, he accompanies his friend André on a bike ride to Arcachon. There, they take a boat to Cap Ferret to visit the legendary oyster shacks on the beach. What’s on the menu? Only oysters. Not ideal for Jacques, but André devours them by the dozen. So why does Jacques go? André knows that his friend needs no more persuasion than a chilled bottle of Bordeaux Blanc to seduce him. As bribes go, this one isn’t too bad.
To obtain our fresh and aromatic Bordeaux Blancs, we harvest the grapes before sunrise to preserve their delicate aromas. The result is a wine that explodes with flavors from the moment you open it.
In addition to Sauvignon Blanc, which makes up the majority of the blend, there is an unusual percentage of Sémillon. This is a tradition at DBR Lafite, as we have been producing great Sémillon in Sauternes for decades. The Sémillon gives the wine its volume and incredible mouthfeel, while increasing its longevity.
This blend combines notes of tropical fruits such as pineapple and passion fruit with delicate mineral notes. Aged on lees, it has a beautiful roundness balanced by a fresh and crisp finish.
90% Sauvignon Blanc 10% Semillon
