Chateau Leoube “Secret” Rose 2023 

Benchmark Rose. Our most popular premium rose selection! Stellar right down to the packaging. 

Chateau Leoube is produced by Romain Ott, a descendant of the “Ott” family, 3rd generation winemaker. Domaine Ott is the benchmark Provence rose. Both a wine maker and viticulturist, Romain oversees the production of Chateau Leoube’s wines from bud break to harvest, to bottling. Chateau Leoube is a certified organic estate. The property for Chateau Leoube was purchased by Lord Anthony Bamford, chairman for JCB (J.C. Bamford Excavators Limited) back in 1997. This breath-taking estate is planted to 65 hectares of vineyards, just a stone’s throw away from Saint Tropez. 

Chateau Leoube Secret is a cuvee that was initially made by Romain Ott for Lady Bamford. The wine was not made for public consumption, it was a “secret”. When visitors came to visit this pristine property, some of them were lucky enough to try the Secret. A secret this good could not be kept as such for long, the cuvee is too good to keep under wraps. If you enjoy the best when it comes to Provence rose, then Chateau Leoube Secret should be on your radar.

Tasting Notes:  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 under laid 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.

PAIRING: aperitif, tartare, fish, Mediterranean dishes, grilled meat, loin of lamb or veal chop.

Technical Notes

Varietal Blend: Grenache 40%, Cinsault 40%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%.
The Soil: A mixture of schist and clay characterize 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. A particular situation that contributes to making wine out of common. Vinification: 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 takes place in the spring after clarification.
