Pale pink but with enough structure to accompany food, this superior Provence rosé offers apple, pink grapefruit and rosehip notes, with some minerality and a nice bit of grip on the palate.

Producer

Since acquiring this Provençal estate in 2006, Sacha Lichine has achieved his vision of transforming the perception of rosé from being a simple summer thirst-quencher to a serious wine, capable of commanding a serious price – a hugely impressive feat in such a short space of time. The négociant bottling, Whispering Angel, has led the charge, becoming a global icon in the process, but by applying fine-winemaking techniques to the super-premium Les Clans and Garrus cuvées, he has created a pair of complex and age-worthy wines that have redefined the category.

Vineyard

The grapes come exclusively from the vineyards of Château d’Esclans, which feature classic chalky-clay soils and a southerly exposure. Harvesting only took place between sunrise and noon to avoid picking in the hottest part of the day.

Winery

The grapes were sorted three times, both optically and manually, before destemming and a light crushing at 7-8ºC. The wine was made from free-run and first-press juice fractions, vinified in a mixture of temperaturecontrolled stainless steel vats and 600-litre oak barrels.
