Bill's Rosé Wine Blog

Who is Bill?

Bill has a passion for wine and “discovered” Rosé wine thirty or so years ago in the South of France, at a time when the wines were very good there, but often failed to travel well. This had to be overcome before his idea of specialising in marketing top quality Rosé wines within the UK could be realised. Happily, this has now been achieved by adding modern production methods to the traditional skill of the winemakers resulting in wines that are superb anywhere!
Bill had forecast the expanding market for good Rosés long before it happened. He registered Rose-wine.com, established a reputation, and negotiated some of the best, most characteristic wines, at an early stage. The rest, as the say, is the stuff of legend!

Great News - Chateau Léoube

I'm delighted to say that we shall be adding Chateau Léoube's two fine Rosé wines to our range very soon. We are simply waiting for the 2010 vintage to come in whereupon it will be immediately added to our list.

Chateau Léoube is beautifully situated on the Mediterranean coast at Bormes-les-Mimosas and has all the benefits of the maritime climate and coastal breezes which contribute so much to the good health of the vines. These are ideal conditions, for Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cabernet Sauvignon which allow the wine maker immense scope to perfect his art. The resulting pale Rosés are outstanding.

One of the highlights of my visit to the Vinisud wine exhibition in Montpellier last year was trying the "Le Secret de Léoube" Rosé. The blend includes Cabernet Sauvignon, a master touch, which adds to the fullness and flavour of this marvellous wine.

Chateau Léoube's wines are a perfect example of top quality Rosés. As you can imagine, we are looking forward to stocking them and I certainly recommend that you give them a try!
