Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Yohan Castaing

A blend of Grenache Noir and Rolle, the 2024 Côtes de Provence Rosé is a classic, emerging from the glass with aromas of red berries, spices and spring blossoms mingled with pomegranate. Medium- to full-bodied, enveloping and juicy, it's perfectly balanced, with a sappy texture, concluding with a long, perfumed finish.

Wine Spectator

Kristen Bieler

Balances its freshness with a bass note of creamy fruit and a kiss of oak toast. Stylish, with concentration and salty brininess throughout, plus notes of dried hay and thyme on the polished finish. Grenache and Rolle. Drink now. 800 cases made, 800 cases imported.

The 2024 Côtes de Provence Rosé is rich, toasty and polished, definitely wearing its oak treatment on its sleeve. That said, there's a measure of sophistication here that is undeniably attractive. Sweet vanilla, berry liqueur and exotic spice tones blossom nicely in the glass.

Andreas Larsson

Classic pale rosé de Provence colour. Pure nose, layered, a gentle hint of oak and dry spice leads to freshly crushed red berries, raspberry, cherry and currant notes with some wild herbs and ripe citrus. The palate combines a creamy mid-palate and bright acidity with good purity, generous fruit, some chalky notes and a long pure finish.

The Estate

The Château d’Esclans is located in the heart of Provence, northeast of Saint-Tropez, with the Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop. The first mentions of Château d’Esclans date back to the Roman Empire, during which it served as an observation post on the Gulf of Fréjus to anticipate potential maritime incursions.

Château d’Esclans is an exceptional estate nestled in Provence. It stands out particularly for its old Grenache vines, which produce grapes with more concentrated aromas than those from younger vines.

Built in the 19th century, the current château has seen many owners. Since 2006, it has been owned by Sacha Lichine and has greatly contributed to the fame of Côtes de Provence wines. Today, it is recognized worldwide for its rosés, notably thanks to the Whispering Angel cuvée.

The Vineyard

Not far from the ancient Roman city of Fréjus, on the Côte d'Azur, lies the Esclans Valley, which hosts the château's 44 hectares of vines. Averaging 35 years old, the vines are planted on varied soils, mixing clay, limestone, and sandy gravel depending on the plots. This diversity of terroirs gives these Provence wines a great richness of aromatic profiles.

Blend
Grenache, Rolle (Vermentino), and Tibouren.
