Les Légendes R
The Lafite Rothschild family has been producing wine in Bordeaux since 1868. For six generations, they got to know this beautiful landscape and understand the unique traits of the vines from each appellation. Three decades ago, the family was inspired to create a new wine series, where each wine would be the epitome of the appellation it came from. Their motivation was simple – to ensure wine lovers everywhere could dive into Bordeaux and taste the originality of each appellation. And so, the Les Légendes R range was born.
The vintage
The 2024 vintage was marked by particularly complex weather conditions. Periods of heavy spring rains led to significant sanitary pressure, followed in the summer by episodes of heatwaves and drought. Fortunately, the cool nights of August helped preserve the acidity and aromas of the white grapes, especially benefiting Sauvignon. This vintage required constant vigilance and precise work from our teams. In the end, 2024 stands out as an excellent white wine vintage, offering wines with beautiful aromatic intensity, great freshness, and moderate alcohol levels.
