Product Description
Once again Sacha Lichine owner of Chateau d'Esclans and founder of Whispering Angel produces the goods with this extraordinary good value rosé. An expressive, aromatic, elegant blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah grapes that grow parallel to the Mediterranean coast where their salty, sun-drenched soils give the wine a dry yet fruity character.
wine score
98 points James Suckling
"Amazing aromas of earth, mushroom, stone, mineral and slate. Flowers too. Full-bodied and round yet agile and dynamic. Flavors of delicate strawberry, apple,lemon and mineral. Salty. Linear, energetic backbone of acidity. Barrel fermented and aged for almost a year. From mostly old vine Grenache and rolle. Super structure and impressive finish. This will be even better in 2016 but great now. Greatest rose ever.
