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
2016 has been a remarkable vintage in the Bordeaux region, reminiscent of the legendary 1990 in terms of both quantity and quality! It was a fairly challenging year for winegrowers, with a very wet start to the growth cycle (800 mm of rain over the first six months of the year), a very dry period from 1 July to 13 September, and finally localized thunderstorms and a beautiful Indian summer that enabled the grapes to reach optimal ripeness. The red wines are rich, smooth and fruity, with tannins of a rarely obtained maturity and very deep colours.
