Vintage Report

The 2023 vintage for white Bordeaux has been rated 94 points by Robert Parker. This indicates an "outstanding" quality for this vintage.

The Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) winery is, of course, known for its excellent wines from Pauillac, but today the estate also boasts beautiful vineyards filled with white grapes. The knowledge and experience of this prestigious estate are a true gift, allowing them to produce a white wine of unparalleled quality. The name comes from the term "la hite," meaning "little hill." Over the years, the estate has gained immense fame and expanded its vineyards. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillion grapes are used for this white wine, which thrive in Bordeaux.

The old vineyard of Legende

The age and strength of the vines determine the quality of a white Bordeaux wine. This is certainly true for this Legende Bordeaux Blanc, as the vineyard is very old. The old vines are deeply rooted, allowing the plants to easily draw strength from the rich soil structure. The grapes enjoy ample sunshine, cool winds, and falling nighttime temperatures. These factors help the bunches retain their freshness. The grapes are harvested early in the morning to prevent damage during transport to Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). This also prevents oxidation, and the grapes are then pressed with the utmost precision.

Full and very powerful this white Legend Bordeaux

This latest wine from Lafite Rothschild is part of the Legend series and is crafted from the finest grape varieties of the Bordeaux region: Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. This results in a vibrant, fresh aroma of grapefruit, lime, passion fruit, and mint. The palate is wonderfully refreshing and very flavorful, as we've come to expect from Lafite Rothschild's Legend. Beautiful flavors of lime zest, grapefruit, mint, green herbs, and a hint of passion fruit.
