Les Legendes R Pauillac Magnum

Pauillac in a magnum bottle: more aging potential, more depth — and a wine that doesn't deny Lafite's signature even in the entry-level segment.

Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) produces the Les Légendes line as a regionally typical distillate of each appellation. For Pauillac, this means: Cabernet Sauvignon as the backbone, complemented by Merlot, 12 months of barrel aging — the classic craftsmanship of the Médoc, without the price tag of the Grands Crus.

In the glass, it displays a dark ruby ​​red color. The nose opens with aromas of cassis and black plum, underpinned by a distinct cedar note and a hint of graphite—typical of Pauillac's gravelly soil. On the palate, structured tannins, softened by barrel aging, medium length, dry finish with a light tobacco note.

The magnum bottle slows down the maturation process: drinking window 2025–2030, with an additional year of waiting time further integrating the aromas.
Serving temperature: 17–18 °C, decant for at least 30 minutes.
