The conditions at Domaine de Léoube, with the proximity of the sea, the sea breeze and cool nights make it an ideal climate for growing grapes. These grapes are used to make all Chateau Léoube wines including “Chateau Léoube – Cotes de Provence rose”.
Only once vines are aged 22 years, are they used to make this rosé wine. A mixture of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvédre grapes are harvested manually to make sure that only the highest quality grapes make it to the wine. These grapes are then transported to the winery where they are pressed directly, making sure the grapes are as fresh as possible. The juice extraction is slow and delicate to take care that the grapes aren’t bruised or discoloured and is then put in stainless steel tanks rather than wooden casts to ferment. This helps to make the resulting wine fresher and gives it its pale amber glow.
All the care taken during the production results in a refreshing bright rosé wine that is clear and delicate in colour. The initial taste is dry then mellows to dry to medium, with a blend of fruit and light spice flavours coming through. A great wine for every occasion, as an aperitif or accompanying lighter foods such as salads or grilled fish.
