Chateau D`Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé, Cotes de Provence, France

This superb rose is made from a blend of old vines grown on the Esclans estate by Burgundian winemaking techniques resulting in a rounded and expressive Provence rosé with unusual complexity.

A pale partridge eye pink with perfumed bouquet, which follows with elegant summer fruits. The palate is refined and elegant with faint cherry nuances and beautifully integrated balancing acidity.

Drink as an aperitif or ideally served with fish soup, grilled sea fish like red Mullet, Tuna, Bream or Sardines or Nicoise salad and cold Mediterranean vegetables.

Over the years this Whispering Angel has won multiple awards, including being awarded The Wine Enthusiast's European Winery of The Year Award for 2014. More recently it has gained 92 points from James Suckling:

"Pale rose colour with pretty aromas of lavender, rosehip, strawberries, cherries and cloves. It's medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a subtle, creamy palette. Perfumed and elegant." -92 Points James Suckling January 2022

Chateau d’Esclans is located on an exceptional site, on elevated land near the Gorges de Pennafort, twenty kilometers northwest of the ancient Roman city of Frejus on the Mediterranean coast. The first traces of the chateau’s site date back to Gaullist times during which its location served as a lookout point to spot intruders coming by boat into the Gulf of Frejus. The surrounding land around Chateau d’Esclans is known as La Vallée des Esclans (the valley of the clans). At one point the entire area was part of the chateau’s property and over time was gradually parceled out. In 2006 Sacha Lichine acquired Chateau d’Esclans beginning a new and exciting history for this remarkable chateau and the 267 hectares surrounding it.
