Rock Angel Provence Rose, Chateau D' Esclans, Cotes de Provence, France, 2025

Grapes: 60% Grenache & 40% Vermentino (Rolle), "Optical eye" sorting of grapes at harvest, partial barrel fermentation and six months on lees (with stirring) before bottling

Producer Tasting Note:

AROMA - Delicate red berry aromas with mineral notes, along with floral hints and a subtle spice. PALATE - Rock Angel is rich and racy on the palate. The use of partial oak ageing adds a creamy feel and texture to this wine, and the flinty minerality embues it with another layer of complexity. FINISH - Powerful and elegant. Firm acidity with a long and silky finish.

This rosé bears a more complex and structured taste profile than Whispering Angel bringing rosé lovers a bigger and richer wine that is fabulous as an aperitif, or paired with a broad range of fine cuisine. If you like the minerality of a Sancerre, you will love this wine.

Rock Angel is made from grapes primarily from the vineyards of Chateau d’ Esclans itself, in addition to those in the vicinity of the Esclans Valley and nearby in the Cotes de Provence region. Château d’ Esclans has been owned and run by Sacha Lichine since 2006 and their jump to world stardom has been truly meteoric!

Food Match: Drink with grilled fish, salmon tartar, avocado and shrimp, or with lightly spiced Oriental dishes
