The grapes
Syrah
Best known in Northern Rhône, Washington State
A dark, spicy red grape. Blackberry, black pepper, smoked meat and violets, with firm structure. Elegant and savoury in the Northern Rhône, in places like Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie; in Australia the same grape goes by Shiraz.
Vermentino
Best known in Sardinia, Liguria, Tuscany
A Mediterranean white grape with citrus, herbs and a saline finish. Fresh and aromatic, it is perfect with seafood and grilled fish. Sardinia and Liguria make classic examples, and in Provence the same grape is called Rolle.
Where it's from
Provence
France
Rosé country. The world's most admired pink wine comes from here — pale, dry, effortlessly elegant. But look beyond the rosé: the reds of Bandol (Mourvèdre-based) are among France's most underrated age-worthy wines.
Meet the producer
Château d'Esclans
Provence, France
Château d'Esclans in Provence is led by Sacha Lichine, who has redefined Provence rosé. We stock the Whispering Angel and Rock Angel rosés, plus the finer Les Clans and Garrus, the flagship cuvée.
More from Château d'Esclans →The story behind it
Produced exclusively from Château d'Esclans' estate vineyards, Les Clans undergoes fermentation and aging in large French oak barrels, with bâtonnage (lees stirring) enhancing its texture and depth. This meticulous process results in a rosé of remarkable elegance and aging potential.
If you like these, you'll love this: Enthusiasts of structured rosés like Domaine Tempier Bandol or those who appreciate the finesse of white Burgundies will find Les Clans particularly appealing.
