Léoube Rose Recommended for Mother's Day
Chateau Leoube Rose Côtes de Provence 2010
"For yummy mummies who can’t resist the allure of a dry rose, try Chateau Leoube Rose 2010, Cotes de Provence (£13.99, www.corneyandbarrow.com). The pale coral hue and clean, sophisticated label are an instant attraction, and the wine’s pretty good too. Concentrated with crushed berry fruits, a wild strawberry nose and good acidity, this rose has enough body and length to partner shellfish starters, seafood or rotisserie chicken."
Sam Wylie-Harris, Belfast Telegraph

Super fresh with great purity, the tropical fruit flavours and honeysuckle nose are a great reminder that spring is just around the corner."
