Tasting Notes

Pale salmon in colour, this is delicate and fresh with plenty of crisp strawberry fruit and a long finish. The new benchmark for Provence rose.

Vinification Details.

Harvesting from sunrise to noon by hand only and in small crates to avoid oxidation. Grapes are then sorted electronically and manually 3 times. Destemming and slight crushing at 7-8 °C to avoid coloration. Both the free run and pressed juices are fermented in stainless steel with temperature control and then matured on the lees with batonnage, twice weekly.

Producer Information

Chateau d'Esclans is found nestled in the depths of Provence about half an hour north of St Tropez. New to Bibendum's list, these Rose wines come recommended highly by Jancis Robinson, "the best pink wine to have come my way". www.jancisrobinson.com

Now owned by Sacha Lichine, this Rose is renowned as one of the most stylish, elegant roses the wine world has to offer. A must have in every fashionable watering hole in the Cote d'Azur, this is something to get out around your friends and enjoy!

Regional info.

Ch d'Esclans is fast on its way to becoming the most desirable Rose in the World. Sacha (son of Alexis Lichine, ex Chateau Prieure-Lichine in Margaux) and his winemaker (Patrick Leon ex-winemaker for Mouton Rothschild) started in 2006 to make wine at this beautiful estate near Frejus in Provence. Their goal is simple, to make the most elegant and complex Rose in the world. They have quickly taken the place of Domaine Ott in the Cote d'Azur with the Jet Set due to their incredibly sexy packaging and lighter, less austere style.
