Tasting Notes: Our LVE Rosé is a brilliant, pale pink color. It exudes fruitiness and elegance. The nose is aromatic with delicate notes of peach blossom, raspberry and apricot. Full and round on the palate, crisp light notes of fresh picked strawberry and white nectarine lead to an elegant and lengthy finish.

Winemaking: The grapes were selected from vineyards in the south of France on three different types of soil; sandstone, limestone, clay. Each soil type brings a different element to the wine resulting in a great balance of fruit, finesse and depth.

First, the grapes are carefully de-stemmed, then pressing is performed progressively so that free-run and first press juices may be selected in order to obtain a pale, delicate color. The grapes from distinct plots are vinified separately so as to preserve their typicity. Fermentation is conducted at low temperatures to encourage freshness and the wines are aged for 3 months on fine lees with occasional stirring.

The Story: The LVE Collection by John Legend is the perfect harmony of passion, eloquence and Napa Valley tradition. LVE wines are a unique series of rich, soulful and complex notes inspired by true love, produced in collaboration with renowned Boisset Collection.

The LVE French Rosé is John’s exploration outside Napa Valley to the French vineyards of Languedoc Rousillon. Like his music, this rosé was destined to be a crowd pleaser. LVE brings together classic elegance, rich complexity and modern soul.

Pairs well with: Complements Mediterranean-inspired dishes, fresh seafood like oysters and grilled prawns, light salads, and soft cheeses such as goat cheese.
