2012 Rosé de Léoube, Château Léoube,, Provence, France, Côtes de Provence

“To produce the best from what the land can give you with great affection and care…”

This is the owners’ motto. They have been owners of Domaine de Léoube for the last ten years, a domain with 560 hectares including 65 of vineyards and 20 of olive grove devoted to growing vines and olives in one of Europe's most beautiful protected sites.

The domain also has the advantage to dispose of a passionate winemaker: Romain Ott. In tune with lunar and seasonal cycles, he helped them rehabilitate traditional farming methods to, leading Léoube’s wines towards a sustainable and promising development.

A mixture of schist and clay characterizes the Château Léoube soils. The proximity of the sea, the daily sea breeze and cool nights are all factors that provide an ideal climate for growing grapes. Age of the vines is 22 years.

To obtain a perfect sorting, harvesting is manual only. The grapes are transported directly to the winery where they are pressed immediately. The juice extraction is slow and delicate. Fermentations, alcoholic and malolactic are made in stainless steel tanks. Since 2012 they can make officially an organic wine.
