    Product description

    Sacha Lichine purchased Château d’Esclans with the aim to use new and innovative winemaking techniques to produce a richer and more fruit forward style of rosé wine. A few years later Whispering Angel, the world most popular rosé, was born. Each vintage has always received great reviews from critics.

    Made from a blend of free run and pressed juice. Subtle and delicate flavours of red currant and citrus alongside herbal notes and aniseed. Medium bodied with good concentration of ripe fruits and a crisp acidity.

    Awards

    Pale rose color with pretty aromas of lavender, rosehip, strawberries, cherries and cloves. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a supple, creamy palate. Perfumed and elegant. Drink now.

    - 92 pts James Suckling

    Tremendous wine… In 2021 there is a wonderful backbone to this wine from which the fruit is carefully draped. With the trademark watermelon and pomegranate hints and a deeper and more structured mid-palate than was found on the 2020, this is a more sophisticated wine than its crowd-pleasing predecessor.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Caves d’Esclans

    In the heart of the Provence AOC near St Tropez, Caves d’Esclans sources its grapes from Château d’Esclans as well as local growers to make what has reputedly become one of the world’s greatest rosé. Originally known as Terre d’Esclans, the Château has been sold to various family until it was finally acquired by Sacha Lichine in 2006. Originally from a Margaux winemaking family at previous owners of Château Prieuré Lichine, Sacha felt that Rosé had strong potential to become a more serious wine. The estate is known for its rosé sourced from old Grenache vines (up to 90 years old) producing greater concentration of fruits flavours.

    Vineyards

    The 44 hectares of vines are mainly planted with Grenache, Rolle (Vermentino) and some Cinsault, Merlot, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Tibouren.

    Wines produced

    Whispering Angel, Rock Angel, Les Clans, Garrus, The Palm, Déesse Diane (Red) Déesse Astrée (White)
