Leoube, Secret de Leoube Rose

Distinctly pale and with the most delicate of pear aromas, the Secret is assured and effortless, remarkable for its texture and sensation in the mouth. Made from lower yields, it is delicately scented, cool and yet underlaid with slightly more exotic aromas that betray its Provencal origins - herbs, fennel, a touch of aniseed. It is finely textured (thanks to the Cabernet Sauvignon), persistent and warming, without being overtly alcoholic. Above all, there is a freshness, a hint of white pepper, which balances the fruit on the palate, ensuring a dry, mouthwatering finish. This is a dry, highly sophisticated style, very drinkable on its own and supremely well matched to Provencal food, Asian dishes and white meat.
