Wine Spectator

Kristen Bieler

Richly styled and fluid, with melon and warm spice notes streaming through. Salty and savory, offering dried grass and fresh herbs, plus a hint of toasted brioche. Shows real depth and is just beginning to integrate and harmonize; this will go for years more in the cellar. Grenache, Rolle and Syrah. Drink now through 2030. 900 cases made, 900 cases imported.

James Suckling

An excellent wine that's textural, structured, focused and very long. It shows aromas of dried raspberries, wild strawberries, peach skin, warm herbs and baking spices. Medium-bodied with a velvety texture. Well rounded and harmonious, with a lively, zesty and long finish. Drink or hold.

Andreas Larsson

Bright and pale pink with a copper hue. Good purity and intensity, new oak, dry spice and toast is paired with layers of vivid red fruit, ripe citrus, lemongrass, mint, sage and floral hints. Voluminous and textured with mild tannin, a vivid acidity, a slight presence of oak and toast with crushed red berry flavours, citrus, spice and serious persistency.

The Power and Elegance of a Great Côtes de Provence Rosé

The Estate

Located in the heart of Provence, in the inland Var region, Château d'Esclans spans an estate of more than 260 hectares. The property's modern history truly began in 2006, when it was acquired by Sacha Lichine with the ambition of creating the world's greatest rosés. Since 2019, the LVMH group has held majority ownership, while Sacha Lichine has remained president. Certified HVE 3, the estate is today an essential global benchmark in the production of luxury rosés.

The Vineyard

Hailing from the prestigious Côtes de Provence appellation, the vineyard dedicated to this cuvée is located on the heights of La Motte. This wine comes from a single plot of very old Grenache vines, some of which are almost a century old, lending the grapes exceptional concentration and complexity.

Winemaking and Aging

The grapes are hand-harvested in the morning to preserve the freshness of the berries. After a rigorous optical sorting process and gentle crushing, the grapes are quickly chilled. Pressing takes place in a closed circuit to prevent oxidation, and only the free-run juice is kept. Fermentation and aging both take place entirely in new 600-litre French oak barrels for around eleven months, with regular lees stirring twice a week.

Grape Varieties

This wine is a blend of Grenache, the dominant variety, and Rolle.
