Distinctly pale and with the most delicate of pear aromas, this dry rose wine is assured and effortless, remarkable for its texture and sensation in the mouth. 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.
At Chateau Léoube we produce award-winning organic Provencal wines and olive oil from one of the most beautiful protected sites in Europe. Nestled in a coastal bay in the South of France, the vineyards and olive groves on our estate are carefully tended by hand, using time-honoured artisan methods to work in harmony with the land. Working sustainably, with the future of our planet in mind, has been at the heart of the Léoube philosophy since our first vines were planted. This commitment to nature guides every part of our growing and making.
Provence claims to have the oldest of France’s vineyards. From the 2nd Century BC, the Romans expanded winegrowing in the area, introduced four centuries earlier by the Phoenicians. Then, in the Middle Ages, the monastic orders and noble families came to head up numerous Provencal estates. An era when vineyards were to increase considerably in size and stature.
