‘Lion et Dragon’ is among the great Rose of Provence, a small batch production of hand-selected organically-grown grapes from the estate best parcels, aged in oak barrels. The Lion and Dragon, present on the estate coat of arms, derived from the Knights Templar history of the area: the dragon, emblem of the city of Draguignan, and the Lion representing the town of Lorgues – both placed under the protection of the Provence Sun.

Harvested by hand early in the morning and placed in crates, the grapes are then kept in a cold room for 24 hours. The berries then pass on the sorting table and are sent to the press. The cold pellicular maceration, long for a rose, makes it possible to extract the aromas and the typicality of the grape varieties as much as possible, without taking on colour. The juice thus obtained is decanted at low temperature then sung in thermally controlled barrels and ‘Foudres’ (large oak casks), where natural fermentation then begins thanks to their native yeasts. The aging lasts about 6 months.

描述

The Lion & Dragon Rosé from Château Roubine in Provence reveals a bright, light red color in the swirled glass. When swirling the wine glass, one can perceive a first-class balance in this rosé wine, as it does not stand out on the walls of the glass, neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like. To the nose, this Château Roubine rosé wine shows all sorts of lemons, strawberries and pears. As if that weren't already impressive, the aging in large wooden barrels adds other aromas like toasted wood.

The Château Roubine Lion & Dragon Rosé presents itself to the wine lover wonderfully dry. This rosé wine is never coarse or meager, as one might expect from a top wine. Balanced and multifaceted, this light rosé wine presents itself on the palate. In the finish, this youthful rosé wine from the wine-growing region of Provence finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of strawberry and lemon.

Food recommendation for the Lion & Dragon Rosé from Château Roubine
Drink this rosé wine from France ideally moderately chilled at 11 - 13°C as an accompanying wine to asparagus salad with quinoa, stir-fried vegetables with fish or coconut-lime fish curr

About the Brand

Dating back to the 14th century, Chateau Roubine was owned by the Order of the Knights of Templars before being ceded to the order of Saint John of Jerusalem. In the 15th century, Chateau Roubine became the prerogative and pride of various great Provencal families. The ancient Roman road known as Julienne ran through this place and crossed the current vineyards, giving the Chateau a unique placement. Chateau Roubine was inherited by Henri de Rohan Chabot, who rented it to the Ott family in 1923. It finally gained a stable owner in 1994 after Valérie Rousselle purchased it, turning a new page in its history.
Chateau Roubine’s vineyard, bordered by a cirque of pines and oaks, is located in the heart of the Var between Verdon and the Mediterranean. It houses thirteen grape varieties and offers the conditions favoured to produce high-quality wines. “Roubine” in Provençal means stream, a credit to the east/west orientation of the land and the clay-limestone soil of the area.
In 1955, Chateau Roubine was one of the 23 wineries recognized by decree as “Cru Classé” of the Côtes de Provence. Today, the estate spans 130 hectares, including 72 hectares of vines, and excels through an optimal combination of advanced technology and strict adherence to sustainable agriculture rules.
The wine-making practices at the Chateau are designed to respect nature at every turn. This environmental approach, which is present at every stage of production, respects nature and its balance. Since 2017, Chateau Roubine has been certified as fully organic, and certified Biodynamic since 2020. Throughout the seasons a steady stream of visitors is present in the vineyards discovering the vines and the essential gestures and climatic contrasts that offer the qualities of a true terroir.
