Augusta

The LEOS rosé ‘Cuvée Augusta’ is a subtle blend of natural freshness, precise and elegant aromatics and the concentration and richness of wines produced around the Mediterranean. The terroir alone is not enough. The balance and singularity of this cuvée also comes from the fine mix of grape varieties between the Grenache noir which gives a nice foundation to the structure and aroma and the high percentage of white grape varieties, the Bourboulenc which brings roundness and acidity and the Vermentino which gives a precise, fresh and floral aroma.

“Nicolas Jaboulet & Patrick Bruel created, from their first vintage, a tasty and smooth rosé, predestined for fine gastronomy. Style of choice for a rosé of taste, in good shape. Although the task of producing a rosé worthy of the name is very popular, the successes are not always happy. However, rosé deserves all the attention in the vineyard and then in the cellar before being appreciated like any great wine. The Augusta Rosée vintage, born under the auspices of the endearing 2022 vintage, at the Leos estate, is one of the major successes in IGP Méditerranée. As a good student monopolizing the first places, Augusta offers the qualifiers of an exemplary rosé, namely: A real diversity of perfumes (incense, blood orange and white pepper), far from the varietal ones. A multiplicity of textures combining a slender approach and a very fine tannic flesh. And finally, as with any great wine, an aromatic persistence that permeates the senses. Beautiful table moments reach out to him and are so many promises of marked flavors. We will gladly bring it closer, serving it carafed with escabeche red mullet seasoned with saffron, a piece of matured beef, marinated then glazed with a little tomato pulp or a Chèvre du Rove and sweet onion confit will also reserve the best welcome.”

« 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 ».
