WHISPERING ANGEL 2022

75cl

A pale, pearlescent rosé with near-translucent salmon highlights. The nose offers a delicate bouquet of peony, white peach and pink grapefruit, underpinned by a gentle garrigue minerality. On the palate, the attack is fresh and precise, the texture creamy, with a lingering floral finish of citrus.

Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A lively acidity and citrus notes that bring a mineral tension characteristic of the Côtes de Provence.
Roundness
The dominant Grenache lends a silky texture and a subtly generous fruitiness.
Power
Deliberately delicate and airy, the wine's power is held in check in favour of elegance.
Length
A persistent finish of citrus and white flowers, with admirable clarity.

Terroirs

Vines planted on the clay-limestone and schist soils of the Massif des Maures (Var), cooled by the Mediterranean sea breeze. A terroir of garrigue and silence that imprints each vintage with a distinctively mineral signature.

About this house

Château d'Esclans was born of Sacha Lichine's vision when, in 2006, he acquired this estate nestled in the hills of the Var, at La Motte-en-Provence. From the outset he was joined by Patrick Léon, former technical director of Château Mouton Rothschild, and together they set about establishing Provence rosé as a serious gastronomic wine respected the world over.

Whispering Angel — the angel who whispers — is the estate's flagship cuvée, produced at scale without ever compromising on standards: night harvesting, electronic optical sorting, low-temperature fermentation in stainless-steel vats. In under twenty years, this distinctively shaped bottle has become the global emblem of premium rosé.

The rosé's minerality highlights the delicate brininess of a lightly dressed sea bass carpaccio.

The citrus notes and Grenache roundness are a natural match for seared prawns with a sharp Limoncello espuma.
