Chateau d’Esclans, Cotes Rock Angel Rose, Cotes de Provence 2021

d'Esclans

Case Format: 3x150cl

Chateau d’Esclans, a magical property, is situated in the heart of Provence, northeast of St. Tropez. With his acquisition of the Château in 2006, Sacha Lichine’s vision was to create the greatest rosés in the world, igniting the “Rosé Renaissance”. Now in its sixteenth vintage, Château d’Esclans is home to Whispering Angel.

Rock Angel has a more complex and structured taste profile than Whispering Angel bringing it into a more premium realm, giving rosé lovers a bigger and richer wine. Rock Angel is rich and racy on the palate. The use of partial oak aging adds a creamy feel and texture to this wine, and the flinty minerality embues it with another layer of complexity; it has delicate red berry aromas with mineral notes, along with floral hints and a subtle spice.

Joe Czerwinski

Bottled just a week prior to my April visit, the 2021 Cotes de Provence Rose Rock Angel was still showing well. Scents of toasty oak and vanilla accent tangerine and peach on the nose, giving this medium-bodied rosé an almost creamsicle-like aspect. Generous, silky and long, it might be even better later this year.

Neutral aromatics, still closed and youthful. Some dark berries and hints of minerality. The oak structure is much more evident after some air, and not so evident at all on first opening. It’s rich and opulent, the oak is very present and is providing almost all the heavy lifting – this is a nutty, dense wine that is not so reliant on fruit. The acidity is nicely balanced and well integrated. It has a lovely structure, but is lacking fruit on the nose - a good step up from Whispering Angel and a fantastic example of an entry-level oaked rosé with a premium story.
