Château Leoube 'Rose de Leoube' 2023
(Provence, France)

About the Winery:
This is the philosophy of the owners of Domaine de Léoube, one of the most beautiful protected sites in Europe and home to Château Léoube: “We believe in strengthening the land’s biodiversity and natural defenses by employing traditional growing methods and using only natural, non-toxic treatments.” 

Set on 560 hectares, Léoube includes 70 hectares of vineyards and 25 hectares of olive groves, all devoted to growing the grapes and olives that make Léoube’s award winning wines and olive oils.

Romain Ott, the magic word in the world of wine and winemaking. Son of a winegrower and born of a family of winegrowers for four generations, he handles all the productions of Château Léoube. “Producing the best of what the earth can give with love and gratitude…” is Romain Ott’s philosophy, a “Philosophy of the Essence of Wine”, with 
the utmost respect for the product and traditions, in the subtle search for the healthiest and most balanced grapes possible, for the greatest quality and consistency.

Notes from the winemaker:
The proximity of the sea, the daily sea breeze and cool nights are all factors that provide an ideal climate for growing Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon.

To obtain a perfect sorting, harvesting is manual only. The grapes are transported directly to the winery where they are pressed directly. The juice extraction is slow and delicate. Fermentations, alcoholic and malolactic are made in stainless steel tanks. The bottling of this dry rose wine takes place in the spring after clarification.

Tasting Notes:
Made from lower yields, it is delicately scented, cool and yet underlaid 
with slightly more exotic aromas that betray its Provençal origins – herbs, fennel, a touch of aniseed. It is finely textured (Thanks to the Cabernet Sauvignon), persistent and warming, without being overtly alcoholic. Above all, there is a freshness, a hint of white pepper, which balances the fruit on the palate, ensuring a dry, mouthwatering finish.

Blend: Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Syrah

Ratings & Reviews

93 Points (Gold) - Beverage Testing Institute:
"Silvery pink color. Aromas and flavors of watermelon rind, Queen Anne’s cherries, and peach blossoms with a round, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, amusing, relaxed finish with shades of pink cherries, watermelon, strawberry rhubarb, and dried flowers. Precisely the mix of approachable but concentrated fruit and floral character that Provence Rosé is known for producing; buy in large format as a real party pleaser"
