AOC Bordeaux, France

Location

Les Légendes R Bordeaux rouge comes from Entre-deux-Mers région.

Terroir

Entre-deux-Mers vineyard rests on the hillsides located between the two rivers South East of Bordeaux : the Dordogne and the Garonne. This vast territory offers an interresting diversity of terroirs and soils, ranging from chalky-clay plots well suited for Merlot, to well-exposed gravelous slopes perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon.

Winemaking

This wine is made according to traditional method in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation (28°C) was followed by 15 days of maceration, in order to obtain a good concentration of tannins favorable for the ageing under oak (30% of the final blend).
This wine is subtly oaked, in order to keep a good balance between the fruit and the wood.
