Description

Sacha Lichine settled in La Motte-en-Provence in 2006 and bought Château d'Esclans from a Swedish family. Sacha is the son of the world-famous winemaker and writer Alexis Lichine. It may sound arrogant, but his goal was to make the best rosé in the world, which could compete with the top Montrachets. To realize this ambition, he left the vinification to Patrick Léon, who was the winemaker of Mouton Rothschild for 23 years, with the result that Whispering Angel, for example, has been sold out in no time for years. At the end of November, Château d'Esclans was elected 'The European Winery of The Year 2014' by the magazine Wine Enthusiast. It is the first time in history that a winery that mainly produces rosé wines has been awarded this 'Oscar for wines'.

The Whispering Angel is internationally one of the most popular rosés and, next to the cult rosé the Garrus, the wine with which Chateau d'Esclans has gained world fame. This rosé owes its name to the chapel on the estate where 2 whispering angels are depicted on the wall. This image is also depicted on the label of the Whispering Angel. The Whispering Angel has the typical light grey-pink colour that characterises a provence rosé. The rosé has an aromatic bouquet, excelling in minerality and elegance. A beautiful glass of wine, elegant, broad and rich with a beautiful freshness and light spiciness. Intense flavour with aromas of apricots, red berries and strawberries.

Double magnum version of 3 liters in a stunningly beautiful bottle.

The vineyards of Chateau d'Esclans are very favourably situated on a south-westerly location on a clayey and chalky soil. The Garrus is made exclusively from 80 year old Grenache and Rolle vines. The grapes are first tasted, then picked by hand very early in the morning (so that you do not get spontaneous fermentation as a result of the heat) and sorted up to three times for quality. Maceration between 10 and 12 gr. C so that a maximum of fruit is obtained and in addition a selection of pure 'free-run' juice before pressing. A full and eight months Burgundian Batonnage on 600 liter oak barrels which is fully temperature controlled between 12 and 16 gr takes place.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2024 Chateau d'Esclans Whispering Angel Jeroboam is een elegante rosé die bekend staat om zijn verfijnde mineraliteit, frisse fruitaroma's en lichte kruidigheid. De smaak wordt gekenmerkt door prachtige tonen van abrikoos, rode bessen en aardbeien, waardoor deze wijn rijk en breed is maar toch verfrissend en soepel. Door zijn delicate balans tussen fruit en mineraliteit past deze rosé uitstekend bij lichte charcuterie en vleeswaren, maar ook bij frisse groenteschotels en salades, vooral wanneer je kiest voor gerechten met een lichte vinaigrette of verse kruiden. Een goede tip is om deze wijn te serveren bij gerechten die niet te zwaar zijn, zodat de frisheid en elegantie van de wijn mooi tot hun recht komen, bijvoorbeeld bij gegrilde groenten of een salade met geitenkaas.
