Rosé wine Leos cuvée Augusta – 75 CL / Capsule CRD

Premium rosé wine / Organic

Rosé Leos cuvée Augusta

The balance, finesse and good aromatic persistence of this organic rosé make it primarily intended for lovers of great rosés, for aperitifs and meals.

Character

The Leos « Cuvée Augusta” rosé’s character comes from the fine balance between the Grenache that gives a good foundation to the structure and aromas, the Bourboulenc that adds fullness and the Vermentino which gives a lovely fresh finish.

Tasting notes

The « rose petal » pale colour offers a beautiful shine. The first nose is seductive, with very floral notes and white-fleshed fruits. The mouth is ample with lots of roundness. The attack is frank, a fine length in mouth establishes itself and leaves a nice aromatic persistence.

GASTRONOMIC COMBINATIONS

Noted 91/100 points by the Decanter guide, the Leos rosé is a gastronomic rosé which can be served at the aperitif or during meals where its perfect balance between freshness and roundness will accompany perfectly with exceptional dishes. For a first course, you could accompany the cuvée Augusta with a tomato salad, a ceviche, or a beef carpaccio. It is generally perfect with most of Mediterranean dishes et especially with white meats and seafood. And the end of a meal, it marries very well with goat cheeses (with of course a drizzle of H de Leos olive oil!), sorbets and most fruit desserts. Our favourite is a glass of Leos with un goat cheese accompanied by the wild thyme confit from the Domaine. An explosion of flavours, to be enjoyed between 8° and 11°C.

testimonials

Great names also pay tribute to the exceptional Leos "Cuvée Augusta" rosé wine

« Served cold from the ice bucket, this wine initially appeared simple with fruity strawberry bonbon and fresh leafy notes ; long, fresh and mineral with a gently phenolic finish. But wow ! As the wine warmed up in the glass, all the floral, rich and creamy notes typical of Bourboulenc filled out the palate, balanced by the freshness of the Rolle and the red fruit of the Grenache, creating altogetjer characterful rosé ».

"From their very first vintage, Nicolas Jaboulet & Patrick Bruel have produced a tasty, suave rosé destined for fine dining. The style of choice for a tasteful rosé in good shape.Producing a rosé worthy of the name is a highly popular exercise, but not always a happy one. Yet rosé deserves all the attention in the vineyard, then in the cellar, before it can be appreciated like any other great wine.Cuvée Augusta Rosée, born under the auspices of the endearing 2022 vintage at Domaine Leos, is one of the major success stories of the IGP Méditerranée.A star pupil, Augusta offers all the qualities of an exemplary rosé:A true diversity of fragrances (incense, blood orange and white pepper), far removed from the varietal ones.A multiplicity of textures combining a slender approach and very fine tannic flesh.And finally, as with all great wines, aromatic persistence that permeates the senses. It's a wine that's waiting to be enjoyed at the table, with its promise of distinctive flavors.Serve it decanted with red mullet in escabeche seasoned with saffron, a piece of beef matured, marinated and lacquered with a little tomato pulp, or a Chèvre du Rove with sweet onion confit.

“We imagined the LEOS rosé cuvée Augusta 2022 as a white wine with a subtle balance between acidity and fat. The rose petal color is very engaging. On the nose, an elegant freshness emerges. A scent of floral notes recalls the significant presence of white grape variety in the blend. On the palate, the attack is frank and refined. The finish is long, persistent and always on its balance between freshness and roundness. LEOS is obviously enjoyed as an aperitif but this wine with its strong character will accompany dishes with Mediterranean flavors » .

This is my absolute favourite Rosé! I only discovered it this summer in a little restaurant in Cabris, but can’t get enough of it. Was disappointed when I took a friend in September and they had completely sold out (though not surprised). I almost don’t want to promote this little gem to keep it all for myself, but can’t do that. The winemaker has done a great job and this should be enjoyed by everyone.
