Caves d'Esclans Rock Angel Rosé 2019 / 14% / 0.75l
Product description
Château d'Esclans is a unique, beautifully situated place in Provence, whose origins date back to the Gauls, who watched the boats arriving in the Gulf of Fejus from there. A new era began when the estate was taken over in 2006 by Sacha Lichine. Born in Bordeaux, he completed his education in the USA, where he also worked as a sommelier and wine salesman for Caribbean Châteaux, a company that distributes its wines in the most luxurious hotels and resorts on over 18 islands. From the beginning of his activity, he saw the potential in rosé wines and devoted a lot of work to it, creating extraordinary labels that have gained recognition all over the world.
In 2019, LVMH acquired a 55% stake in Château d'Esclans, creating an unusual alliance and providing the estate's wines with international exposure and powerful marketing. Sacha continues to hold a 45% stake, developing the premium rosé category, creating a new chapter in the winery's history.
ROCK ANGEL ROSE 2019 / 14% / 0.75L
Wine from the Vermentino and Grenache varieties, harvested very carefully and meticulously in 10-kilogram boxes to prevent damage. Once they reach the winery, they are carefully sorted to select only the highest quality. It is vinified in 600-liter oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, at a controlled temperature. On the nose, it is full of aromas of red fruits, including cherries and currants, with floral accents and a distinct minerality. On the palate, it is quite creamy and with a distinct texture, gracefully combining fruit flavors with accents of spices and pleasant acidity. The finish is long and very pronounced, with a lasting fruity-mineral aftertaste.
It tastes best served at a temperature of 10-12 degrees. It will be perfect as an aperitif, but will also work well in culinary combinations with white meats, salads with expressive dressings, or seafood.
