Region

The appellation of Côtes de Provence covers a wide swathe of land from Aix east to Cannes. Although much of the production is of dry rosé wine made from Cinsault, Carignan, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, it does also cover red and white wines. Provence has a warm Mediterranean climate with adequate rainfall and the cold Mistral wind provides cooling influence but the best sites are usually sheltered.

Producer

A pioneer of organic wine production in Provence, Domaine Leoube is located a few kilometers from Saint Tropez. The chateau was built at the end of the 14th Century and has been passed through several owners, but now in the hands of the Bamford Family, who have been farming organically in the UK since the 70s and who purchased the estate in 1997. The Léoube estate is based in the heart of the Cote D’Azur and the Côtes de Provence appellation, on the Cap Bénat, a rocky coastal peninsular on the Var coast considered one of the most beautiful protected sites in Europe and is overlooked by the pretty hilltop town of Bormes-les-Mimosa. Their vineyards and olive groves are all organic and benefit from carefully protected terroir with a unique coastal position, enjoying gentle coastal breezes and shelter from inland mountains.
Tasting Notes
With a name that embodies the spirit of sharing, the Love by Léoube was created especially for celebrating. True to the estate’s convivial philosophy, these wines are the perfect companion for every occasion. This is a direct press style, typical of the region, fermentations in steel to retain a fresh style. With complex, aromatic characteristics, a rich, fruity profile and vibrant acidity, this is an elegant provence rose.
Food
Ideal as an aperitif, with antipasti, chicken, grilled vegetables, mixed salads and Mediterranean cuisine.
