2022 Chateau d'Esclans Cotes de Provence Whispering Angel Rose 750ml

Whispering Angel is today’s worldwide reference for Provence rosé. Made from Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle (Vermentino), its pale color is pleasing to the eye and draws one in. The rewarding taste profile is full and lush while being bone dry with a smooth finish. Highly approachable and enjoyable with a broad range of cuisine, Whispering Angel is a premium rosé that you can drink from mid-day to midnight.  Created by Sacha Lichine following his acquisition of Château d’Esclans in 2006, his vision was to create the greatest rosés in the world igniting the “Rosé Renaissance”. Sacha introduced new and innovative winemaking techniques to Provence which revolutionized the styles of rosés being produced from this region. This led to the creation of Whispering Angel, a world class rosé which presents both ease and accessibility making for enjoyment and pleasure.  Whispering Angel is every bit as good as any French rose on the market. It’s delicate, shimmering, but personality-packed pink with grapefruit and hints of peachiness against riveting acidity in a super fresh, gastronomic but deliciously quaffable style, and it really is a Provence benchmark. Whispering Angel Rosé 2022 has a delicate and refreshing aroma of strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, and citrus. On the palate, it is dry and crisp with a medium body and bright acidity. The flavors of red berries and watermelon are complemented by a hint of minerality and a long, lingering finish. This rosé is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of foods. It is perfect for aperitifs, picnics, and light meals. It is also a popular choice for pairing with seafood, salads, and grilled vegetables.
