The first vintage resulting from the collaboration between Domaine de Leos (owned by Patrick Bruel) and Nicolas Jaboulet (Domaine Les Alexandrins), the LEOS Organic Rosé Cuvée Augusta 2022, is to be released in Spring 2023.
A Joint Production Domaine de Leos X Nicolas Jaboulet
December 7th – The 2022 vintage marks the beginning of a new era for Domaine de Leos, with a collaboration with Nicolas Jaboulet. The sixth generation of a well-known family that has worked the prestigious Hermitage slopes since 1834, Nicolas has been cultivating vines in the northern Rhone for 12 years, getting the best from the finest terroirs alongside his partner, Alexandre Caso.
A shared love of authenticity and a passion for terroir brought Patrick Bruel and Nicolas Jaboulet together to raise the bar of excellence even further in this Domaine LEOS Rosé, Cuvée Augusta 2022. Taking the great Hermitage white wines as their inspiration, they crafted this stunningly pure, elegant rosé, with incredible freshness and remarkable breadth.
A NEW BOTTLE THAT REFLECTS THE DOMAINE’S COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
As part of an agricultural approach that seeks to be as close to nature as possible, the LEOS Rosé is, naturally, an organic wine. And, committed to sustainability and action in favor of the environment, Domaine de Leos has also completely redesigned the bottle for this 2022 vintage. With a new design that combines both lightness and elegance, its considerable reduction in weight facilitates responsible transport.
THE PURITY, FRESHNESS AND ELEGANCE OF A FINE ROSE
The LEOS Rosé, Cuvée Augusta 2022, subtly combines the natural freshness of the Ventoux, the precise, elegant aromatics of the Luberon, and the concentration and richness of the Alpilles.
The finest expression of this exceptional terroir, with a balance that comes from astute blending of the grape varieties: with Grenache that offers its superb structure and aromatic power, Bourboulenc that confers opulence, and Vermentino that contributes a touch of zest and a magnificently fresh finish. Its pale rose petal pink color is gleaming bright. The first nose is delightful, brimming with floral notes and white fruit. And in the mouth it is full and immensely smooth, with a clean, pure attack, and immense length with a beautifully lingering aromatic finish.
ABOUT DOMAINE DE LEOS
Domaine de Leos is an exceptional wine and olive oil producing estate. It stretches over 41 hectares near Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and is built on a unique development model. The aim was to create, in Provence, products that stand out not only for their quality and originality, but equally for the commitment to environmental and societal ideals that underpins them. Like the olive oils, jams, honeys, and the estate’s range of cosmetics (whose key ingredients include L’Huile H and olive leaf extracts), its rosé wine embodies the Domaine’s most cherished values. The launch in 2024 of a boutique hotel and restaurant at Isle-sur-la-Sorgue will anchor the project even more firmly in Provence, and offer a total immersion in the world of Leos. www.leos-augusta.com
