Wine Château d'Esclans Côtes de Provence Whispering Angel Aoc Cl 75

From an antique rose that leads to a nose of rose water, violets, and dried leaves, grapefruit, and orange blossom with hints of lavender, chalk, and salt. The palate is composed and refined, savory and fresh at the same time, demonstrating a synergy between all the components. The finish is lingeringly fresh, reminiscent of lime and citrus zest, with a very subtle smoky touch.

Château d'Esclans is located twenty-five kilometers northwest of the ancient Roman city of Fréjus, on the Mediterranean coast.
The winery, located in the heart of the Var department, where most of the Provence AOC rosés are produced, was originally part of a castle dating back to the 12th century. In 1201, Gérard de Villeneuve, a member of a wealthy Marseille family, took possession of the castle and much of the Esclans Valley and later sold it to the Sauveur brothers Louis Ranque and François Alexandre Ranque.
In 1875, the two sold the property to Joseph Toussaint Caussemille; it later passed to the Perraud family, and was purchased by Sacha Lichine, the current owner, in 2006. Today the estate has a total of 427 hectares, 140 of which are vineyards.
On the estate, the most prominent varietal is undoubtedly Grenache; Cave d'Esclan is known for its old Grenache vineyards, which produce grapes with highly concentrated juices. Other varietals include Cinsault, Merlot, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Tibouren.
From the moment he purchased the property, Sacha Lichine had a clear goal: to create the greatest Rosés in the world.
Sacha, in fact, demonstrating great foresight, had intuited that rosé, if conceived, produced, and marketed differently, could gain new interest and alternative market shares; all this led to the creation of an entire range of rosés, from "Whispering Angel" to "Rock Angel," from "Garrus" to "Château d'Esclans."
Today, all Sacha Rosés are of excellent quality, are internationally known, and enthusiasts and industry professionals continually confirm their value.
