2020 | D`Esclans | Garrus Rose

Exhibits aromas and flavours of dried citrus, peaches and passion fruit. The palate displays a bright acidity with glazed pear and pineapple character, leading to a long and creamy finish.

Reviews:

• Decanter: Warm, spicy oak aromas with some toast, vanilla and ginger. Lush flavours of ginger, honeysuckle and almond flood the palate and a silky, creamy texture follows. Very complex and inviting.

• James Suckling: Extremely perfumed with dried peaches, passion fruit and some mineral elements. Ever so subtle. Full-bodied, yet so tight and focused, with a really long and vertical texture of fine tannins and beautiful fruit, as well as bright acidity.

Producer Information

Château d'Esclans is a wine producer in Provence, specializing in full-bodied, dry rosé wines primarily from the Grenache wine grape variety. The flagship wine is the top-of-the-range Garrus cuvée, which is one of the most important (and highly priced) rosé wines in Provence. It was first produced in 2006 and was met with high acclaim. Since, only tiny quantities of the toasty, full-bodied and highly sought after rosé is made each vintage. It is also reputable for its entry-level Whispering Angel Rosé, which is exported around the world to multiple countries. The château was built in the 12th Century and is located on an elevated site, between Saint-Tropez and Cannes. About 44 hectares (110 ac) here are under vine, with Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsaut, Rolle and Syrah all represented. Some of the Grenache vines at the highest elevations are up to 90 years old, making them some of the oldest in Provence. These low-yielding vines give the d'Esclans wines concentration and richness.
