💡 Le saviez-vous ? Le Sumoll a failli disparaître complètement dans les années 1990 à cause de ses hauts rendements et de son profil alcool faible-acidité élevée. Avec environ 100ha restants aujourd’hui, il fait son comeback grâce à des producteurs soucieux de la qualité.

Available in English🇺🇸 + French🇫🇷!

I had only heard a little bit about Jura wines… As it is a very small region that represents only 0.2% of France’s total wine production, it is probably normal. However, it has not always been the case. Jura used to be around ten times its current size, but a series of setbacks decreased its presence from 1850. So, let’s discover Jura wine together!

Nestled in the heart of Provence, Château Léoube is an oasis of calm between orchards, olive trees… and vines. The vines are nurtured by the ochre soil, the azure of Mediterranean sea and the sun. A peaceful and delightful background to return to your roots.
No doubt that the Bamford family fell in love with this paradise in 1997.
With an annual production limited to 40,000 bottles, Château Léoube’s wines are fine, natural and elegant. They are made with passion by Romain Ott, the estate’s winemaker since 2000.
