Description
Jean Leon 3055 are organic wines from Penedès prepared by Jean Leon. This winery, located in Torrelavit (Barcelona), was founded in 1964 by Jean Leon and was established as a tribute to his incredible life. Jean Leon was a Spaniard from Santander who travelled as a gypsy for 19 years, arriving in the United States, where he earned a living by exercising all trades, making a name in Hollywood in the mid-twentieth century with the founding of the legendary restaurant La Scala, with James Dean, a friend of Jean Leon, as the main partner. Jean Leon 3055 Rosé is a tribute to the difficult early life of Jean Leon in America, as a taxi driver with the registration plate number 3055. This wine proudly represents this early stage of a dreamer, the man behind the legend.
A blend of the Bordeaux varieties par excellence, with an elegant bouquet, toasted notes and hints of spices imparted by oak aging. The palate is bold initially as it unfolds across the palate to display great length, good tannins, lush body and a long, lingering finish.
