Description

"... truly staggering. It appeals from the moment it is poured into your glass until the last sunset next summer."  Matthew Jukes

Château d'Esclans' Whispering Angel is the most famous rosé from Provence today. The 2020 vintage is made from ade from Grenache, Rolle, Cinsault, Syrah, and Tibouren. Grapes sourced from the most choice vineyards in the vicinity of the Esclans Valley and nearby in the Cotes de Provence region. Harvesting is conducted during the night time to keep the crop fresh. 

"Whispering Angel is the world's most famous rosé for good reason. The 2020 is delicious and refined, but is richer and has more palate weight than other Provence rosés. And oh so creamy - not an adjective used often with rosé. Spash out for that special dinner or picnic lunch."  Nick Munday

France

There are 16 major French wine regions, each known for their own unique grape varieties, terroir and wines. They are Alsace, Armagnac, Beaujolais, Bordeaux, Bugey, Burgundy, Champagne, Cognac, Corsica, Jura, Languedoc- Roussillon, Loire Valley, Provence, Savoie, South-West and the Rhône Valley.

The largest region is Languedoc- Roussillon, the oldest is Provence, the most influential and famous are Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Loire Valley and the Rhône Valley.

French wine is labelled by wine region or appellation rather than by grape variety (except in Alsace). In order to guarantee the quality and provenance of French wines, the French government established the Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) system. Under this system the wine label indicates the geographical origin, quality and, generally, the style of a wine. Many regions are home to multiple appellations; for example, the prestigious Bordeaux region in the southwest of France has over 60 growing appellations.
