Chateau d’Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé 2024 – 91 Points from France

Whispering Angel Rosé 2024 from Cotes de Provence sets a new standard in premium Provençal wines crafted by Château d’Esclans—the visionary producer behind France’s celebrated Rosé Renaissance movement since 2006. This crisp blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Carignan, and Vermentino captivates with its pale apricot glow and aromatic complexity of fresh pomegranate and grapefruit zest intertwined with Provençal herbs like rosemary and lavender—a profile earning it James Suckling’s praise at 91 points for its “lovely fresh pink fruit” expression.

On the palate, Whispering Angel balances vibrant red berry flavors with bright acidity for an effortlessly refreshing sip that transitions seamlessly from midday brunches to evening dinners under starlight. Its bone-dry character paired with a lush texture makes it an ideal companion to diverse cuisines—from light summer salads to hearty grilled dishes—while avoiding any harsh aftertaste thanks to its silky-smooth finish.

Château d’Esclans revolutionized Provence winemaking when Sacha Lichine introduced modern techniques after acquiring the estate in 2006. These innovations elevated traditional methods into something extraordinary: wines that marry sophistication with accessibility without sacrificing quality or depth of flavor—a hallmark of Whispering Angel’s enduring popularity worldwide.

With its versatile pairing potential and crisp elegance at 13% alcohol by volume, this award-winning rosé is crafted for every occasion—from casual afternoon gatherings to elegant evening celebrations—proving that premium quality doesn’t require pretension.Price may vary locally; vintage date may differ from image displayed.*
