Winter is the perfect time of year to indulge in a glass of red wine. If you can do so in front of a fireplace, consider it the perfect evening. Two reds you must add to your winter list are from the Légende collection by Domaines Barons de Rothschild. Originating from the renowned region of Bordeaux, these reds will not disappoint.
Légende R Médoc Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite 2016
The Légende R Médoc wine is the perfect pairing to any winter meal or cheeseboard. It will take you on a journey with its rich purple brick red color and its aromas of cherries, raspberries, vanilla, and spices. As the wine reveals its true flavors, you’ll notice tastes of blackberry and cinnamon. The wine is silky, balanced, and complex. It is the absolute perfect addition to your winter party table and will be best enjoyed with red meats, cheeses, salumis, and fresh fruits. Blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot.
Légende R Saint-Emilion Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite 2016
The Légende R Saint-Emilion wine is another wonderful red to enjoy fireside or in good company at dinner. The wine is a blend of 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc and also appears as a crimsony-purple color when poured into the glass. Its rose has lingering aromas of vanilla, cinnamon, black currant, and blackberries and it is elegant on the palette. A fuller body wine, the Légende R Saint-Emilion has tastes of red fruits and satiny tannins. Best paired with game meats or rich cheeses but also would be fine alone.
