SAGA Médoc

Saga, excellence everyday
Made by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) team with the same care and passion that is given to their grands crus, Saga wines offer a great discovery of Bordeaux terroirs and tastes.

The vintage
The late frosts that ravaged Bordeaux’s vineyards and many other wine regions in France and Europe on 27 and 28 April had a dramatic effect on the 2017 vintage. The harvest was the smallest recorded since 1991. Fortunately, the wines produced by the properties that were spared by the frost proved to be of excellent quality. The 2017 Médoc wines combine finesse and balance in a fresh, oceanic vintage with lots of fruit and well-rounded flavours.
Varietals
Cabernet sauvignon : 55%

Tasting
Nice deep ruby red colour. Expressive, complex nose, offering a pleasant aromatic diversity, combining scents of leather and ripe fruit with subtle oaky notes.
Elegant and well-balanced on the palate, with silky tannins offering a long spicy finish.
