2020 | D`Esclans | Rock Angel Rose

`Rock Angel` is a complex and structured rosé with delicate red berry aromas and mineral notes, along with floral hints and a subtle spice. Rich and racy on the palate. Use of partial oak aging adds a creamy feel and texture to this wine, and the flinty minerality imbues it with another layer of complexity. Firm acidity with a long and silky finish.

Reviews:

• Decanter: Nuanced flavours and aromas of tangerine, peach, fresh dried petals, citrus, honey and gentle spice. Very rounded, soft and appealing, whilst maintaining freshness and depth. Vey good.

• James Suckling: A pale peach-colored rosé with aromas of roses, strawberries, raspberries and nectarines. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a juicy, creamy palate. Deliciously fruity with good concentration and length.

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.
