Tasting Note

Gently fragrant on the nose, it shows more expression on the palate where the flavours of blackberries and plums are underpinned by attractive tobacco leaf notes. As the wine breathes, it reveals great fruit intensity and the aromas of the ‘maquis’ come to life, distinctly recognisable to the Léoube vineyards.

Product Notes

Chateau Léoube Collector Red is a sophisticated French wine, originating from the sun-drenched Provence region. This hand-harvested wine boasts a harmonious blend of Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault grapes, revealing a ruby-hued richness with delicate aromas of blackberries and subtle spice. The palette is gently textured; smooth tannins and a refreshing acidity with tastes of ripe forest fruits and earthy undertones. An elegant finish persists, making it an ideal companion to red meats, or savoured alone. A classy, organic choice for true wine connoisseurs, its multifaceted depth merits a spot in any well-curated wine collection.
