Whispering Angel Rosé Côtes de Provence AOC 1,5l Magnum - Château d'Esclans

Whispering Angel Rosé Côtes de Provence AOC 1.5l Magnum - Château d'Esclans shines a delicate salmon color in the glass, with light silvery reflections. On the nose, fine notes of freshly picked strawberries, juicy grapefruit, ripe raspberry and redcurrant appear. Subtle hints of white blossoms give the bouquet an elegant, floral finesse. On the palate, this rosé shows a silky, fleshy texture, firm structure and precise, animating acidity. The tannins remain extremely fine and barely perceptible, yet provide grip and length. The wine appears crystal clear, unadorned and at the same time surprisingly deep for a rosé of this style.

The blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Vermentino transports you straight to the landscape of the Côtes de Provence. Grenache contributes juiciness and red fruit, Cinsault brings lightness and fine spice, Syrah adds discreet structure as well as nuances of red berry fruit, while Vermentino contributes freshness, floral notes and citrus accents. Together they create a modern, elegant rosé that focuses on fruit, clarity and finesse.

Production of Whispering Angel Rosé Côtes de Provence AOC

The grapes for Whispering Angel Rosé Côtes de Provence AOC 1.5l Magnum - Château d'Esclans come from selected sites in the Côtes de Provence. The vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine, cool nights and a light breeze from the sea. This combination promotes aromatic grapes with balanced acidity. The soils consist mainly of limestone, clay and schist, in places with gravelly components. This diversity lends the wine tension, minerality and aromatic depth.

Harvesting is selective, with a focus on sound, optimally ripe grapes. In the early morning hours, the freshness of the berries is particularly well preserved. A first selection already takes place in the vineyard, followed by a further strict selection in the cellar. The goal is immaculate fruit that ideally expresses the estate’s delicate style.

In the cellar, Château d'Esclans relies on state-of-the-art technology and the greatest possible precision. After gentle pressing, the grapes go directly into temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This is where the cool fermentation takes place, preserving the finest fruit aromas and bringing out the wine’s characteristic clarity. The rosé then matures for around four months sur lie, that is, on the fine lees. This process provides additional creaminess, a silkier texture and greater depth on the palate, without weight or any influence of wood.

The winemaker’s style focuses on finesse and elegance rather than over-ripeness or opulence. Each batch receives individual treatment to achieve the exact balance of fruit, freshness and structure. The magnum bottle is particularly well suited for slower aging and offers an even more harmonious overall impression in the glass. In this way, a rosé is created that is regarded worldwide as a modern benchmark for Provence wines.
