With a leg of lamb you serve a red wine, preferably a fairly strong one. A Cabernet Sauvignon for example and therefore Bordeaux is a good choice. But a ripe Rioja or a Syrah are also fine options.
When you say Syrah, you say Rhône. This is where fairly full and spicy red wines come from - often from or with Syrah - that combine well with leg of lamb.
There are many more possibilities. The leg of lamb is not too critical, so surprising wine-food combinations are easy to find. Rules of thumb: Tannins are allowed, wood aging is welcome, fruitiness and spiciness are desired.
