Collection Les Rosiers
The vintage
2025 is an outstanding vintage in Bordeaux, marked by particularly favorable weather conditions. A mild and relatively dry winter, with above-average temperatures, was followed by an equally dry and temperate spring, allowing the vines to develop well without disease pressure. High temperatures at the end of May accelerated the vintage’s precocity: flowering and fruit set took place under ideal conditions. The summer that followed was warm and dry, punctuated by a few timely rains that prevented any water stress. Harvesting began on August 11 for the white varieties; the first Merlots were picked in early September under ideal weather conditions, followed by the Cabernet Sauvignons in mid-September.
Location
Legende R Collection Les Rosiers 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 methods in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation was followed by 15 days of maceration at 28°C allowing for a gentle extraction of colour and tannins.
This wine is subtly wooded, in order to keep a good balance between the fruit and the oak.
Grapes
Tasting
Beautiful deep purple colour.
Elegant and complex nose, combining fruity aromas of blackberries blackcurrant with subtle oaky notes of vanilla and cocoa. With aeration, spicy notes of black pepper appear.
Full-bodied, dense and well-structured palate, with ripe, well-integrated tannins. A balanced and harmonious wine.
