Rosé wine | Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, France
Behold, Latible from Château Léognan, a captivating rosé that embodies the essence of Pessac-Léognan, a prestigious sub-region within Bordeaux known for its exceptional gravelly soils that impart unique minerality and elegance to its wines. This is not just a rosé; it’s an experience, a journey through the terroir of one of France’s most celebrated wine regions.
Crafted primarily from Sauvignon Blanc, Latible offers a refreshing departure from the heavier, fruit-bomb rosés. Its pale salmon hue hints at the finesse within. On the nose, it's an aromatic symphony of crisp grapefruit, white peach, and a subtle floral whisper, all underpinned by a distinct stony minerality that speaks of its unique origin.
On the palate, Latible is dry and vibrant, with a refreshing acidity that dances across the tongue. The citrus notes deepen, joined by a hint of green apple and a savory, almost saline edge. Its elegance shines through in its light body and impeccably balanced structure, leading to a long, satisfying finish that leaves you craving another sip.
Château Léognan is a historic estate with a deep commitment to sustainable viticulture, ensuring that each bottle captures the true spirit of the land. The winery blends traditional techniques with modern innovation, resulting in wines that are both classic and contemporary.
Why choose Latible? Because it's a rosé with a pedigree, a wine that elevates any occasion. It's perfect as an aperitif, awakening the senses with its crispness and complexity. But it truly shines when paired with food. Think delicate seafood dishes like grilled scallops or ceviche. Its acidity cuts through the richness of creamy goat cheese or complements the herbaceousness of a summer salad with grilled shrimp. It is a also wonderful addition to lighter meals. I suggest to try it with sushi or Asian-inspired cuisine.
If you're looking for a rosé that's more than just a pretty color, a wine that tells a story and engages the senses, Latible is your answer. Open a bottle, share it with friends, and let the magic of Pessac-Léognan transport you to the heart of Bordeaux. Enjoy it chilled, ideally between 8-10°C, and allow it to breathe for a few minutes to fully unveil its aromatic complexity. No need for extensive rest; it's ready to delight from the moment it's poured. This is a wine that invites conversation, celebrates life, and lingers long after the last sip.
