Description
Côtes de Provence Rosé ‘Rock Angel’ Cuvée d’Esclans is a structured, expressive rosé from Château d’Esclans, offering more depth and complexity than its sibling Whispering Angel. Crafted from Grenache and Rolle with smaller proportions of Tibouren, Cinsault and Syrah, it delivers a dry, medium-bodied style with elegant fruit and subtle spice.
Meet the producer
Château d’Esclans, led by Sacha Lichine, is one of Provence’s most influential estates, known for redefining rosé with a premium, terroir-driven approach. Rock Angel is positioned as a more serious, ageworthy rosé within the portfolio.
Production
Grapes are sourced from select hillside vineyards in Côtes de Provence. Fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels, with partial barrel ageing to build texture and complexity while preserving freshness. Light oak influence adds subtle spice and structure.
Tasting notes
Pale salmon-pink in colour. The nose reveals red currants, candied raspberries and mild spice. The palate is medium-bodied and focused, with forest berries, stone fruit and a tangy, mouthwatering finish. A touch of white pepper and savoury minerality adds lift and length.
Food match
Pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roast chicken, summer salads, and Provençal dishes. Also excellent with lobster, sushi or creamy cheeses.
