Character Description

Château d’Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé presents a beautifully pale, almost translucent, pink hue. It offers an exquisitely delicate and inviting aromatic bouquet of fresh red berries—wild strawberry and raspberry—elegantly interwoven with subtle notes of white peach, apricot, a hint of citrus zest, and delicate floral undertones. On the palate, it delivers a light to medium-bodied and impeccably crisp texture, with vibrant fruit flavors mirroring the nose. It’s supported by a bright, refreshing acidity that provides a long, clean finish, balanced by a subtle minerality and a satisfying dryness. The finish is precise, invigorating, and exceptionally elegant, leaving a lingering impression of fresh fruit and a refined, sophisticated balance.

Perfect Pairings

This quintessential Provence rosé is an exceptional partner for a wide array of light and flavorful dishes, making it incredibly versatile. It pairs beautifully with classic Mediterranean cuisine such as salade niçoise, grilled seafood (especially prawns or sea bass), and bouillabaisse. Its crisp acidity and delicate fruit notes also make it an ideal accompaniment to sushi, fresh goat cheese, charcuterie boards, or light poultry dishes. The magnum format is perfect for brunches, garden parties, yacht excursions, or any festive gathering where a statement of elegance and generosity is desired.
