Rosé 'Whispering Angel' Chateau d'Esclans 2022

Chateau d'Esclans' "Whispering Angel" Rosé is known as one of the absolute best among rosés, if not the finest rosé from Provence. As the product of a renowned brand, it stands as a guardian of the great Provençal savoir-faire in rosé winemaking. It is born from a selection of the best plots on the estate and undergoes a cellar process marked by extreme delicacy, creating a wine that is subtle, refined, and of extraordinary elegance. Provence's mild climate allows for producing aromatic grapes with intense aromas, resulting in a glass of harmonious fragrance and clear citrusy freshness.

"Whispering Angel" has become a legendary rosé, an essential reference point for anyone venturing into the production of this challenging type of wine, which is increasingly appreciated worldwide. The Provençal tradition and style have now become a model for winemaking around the world, with wines characterized by their pale colour and refined, light profile, almost like whites enhanced by the typical aromas of red grapes. A very gentle pressing with brief skin contact takes place after the harvest, which is slightly early to preserve the right freshness. The free-run juice undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Before bottling, the wine matures for several months in stainless steel tanks.

The "Whispering Angel" Rosé from Chateau d'Esclans is produced with the best grapes from the vineyards located in the inland area of Provence, in the La Motte region. It is made from a blend of classic local grapes, each with perfect characteristics for rosé winemaking: the aromas of small wild berries from Grenache, the exuberant fruitiness of Cinsault, the spiciness of Syrah, the structure of Carignan, and the scents and freshness of Vermentino. The result is an exciting glass of wine that captivates with its delicate and luminous pink colour, aromas of rose petals, orange blossom, tangerine peel, and lime, hints of Mediterranean scrub, and subtle iodine sensations. The palate is light and very delicate, with multifaceted and elegant flavours leading to a fresh and savoury finish. It is an indispensable label for all rosé enthusiasts.
