MAGNUM Chateau Leoube, Cotes de Provence, Origine de Leoube 2022
We tasted the extensive Léoube range before settling on this, their principal wine. The estate was bought by the Bamfords (the JCB fame) in 1997. Their bent, as at their estate at Daylesford, was for organic viticulture, so the estate was converted to organics and every vintage has been certified since 2010. The wine maker is Romain Ott, scion of the famed Provençale wine estate. Largely Grenache and Cinsault, with a little Syrah and Mourvèdre.
Largely Grenache and Cinsault, with a little Syrah and Mourvèdre. Delicate pale pink. Berry and floral perfume. Lovely fruit, a perfect synthesis of berries - strawberry and raspberry - and citrus. Dry, just slightly savoury and with a hint of salinity, this is delicious on its own or accompanying salade niçoise, grilled fish or Provençale vegetables. Now-2024
