Château Léoube Rosé de Léoube (2015)

Notes

The color of the Rosé de Léoube is a pale and delicate pink – it looks simply refreshing. I removed the bottle from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before serving, and was glad I did. I think serving it at about 60°F (16°C) brings out the aromas and flavors of this elegant wine. Whiffs of grapefruit and jasmine on the nose made for a tantalizing bouquet and, on the palate, I tasted dried apricot and a touch of banana. With food, the complexities of the wine were evident, and the mineral mouth feel was quite pleasant.  The blend is Grenache 40%, Cinsault 40%, Syrah 10% and Mourvèdre 10%.
