Collaboration with Vintner Jean-Charles Boisset expands just in time for National Rosé Day
St. Helena, CA – Grammy, Emmy, Golden Globe, Tony and Oscar-winning singer, songwriter, humanitarian and philanthropist John Legend today kicks off the second annual “Summer of LVE” with the debut of a new French sparkling rosé, which is the sixth LVE wine and joins the LVE Côtes de Provence Rosé to offer wine lovers two ways to “drink pink.”
“I’m so excited to add some sparkle to the 2019 Summer of LVE! LVE Sparkling Rosé is the perfect addition to your summer celebrations,” Legend says. “Just like with all of my creative endeavors, my approach to winemaking is to collaborate with the best and trying to make something magical.”
The new LVE sparkling Côtes de Provence Rosé (SRP: $25) joins the growing lineup of critically acclaimed LVE wines, including a still rosé (SRP: $25), LVE Chardonnay (SRP: $45), LVE Cabernet Sauvignon (SRP: $85) and LVE Red (SRP: $50). The grapes were selected from a blend of vineyards in well-known growing regions of France, like the Loire and Languedoc, to create its unique and fruity style. LVE wines are made in conjunction with Raymond Vineyards in St. Helena, one of the flagship properties of Boisset Collection.
Just in time for National Rosé Day on June 8th, rosé enthusiasts can pair the still or sparkling LVE Rosé of their choice with their favorite music and meal, and then continue to sip all summer long. To celebrate the Summer of LVE, Legend will be hosting a series of events from coast to coast, including a summer kick-off event at Montauk’s renowned Surf Lodge and a tasting event at Héritage Fine Wines in Beverly Hills, the location of his pop-up LVE tasting lounge.
Fans should keep an eye on @LVE_Wines to learn more about all LVE offerings and to stay up to date on the latest tasting events throughout the summer. Followers are encouraged to post their rosé themed happy hour photos using the hashtag #SummerofLVE.
