"Les Clans" Whispering Angel Rose Provence 2024 750ml

Château d’Esclans · Les Clans · Côtes de Provence · France · 2024 · 750ml

Château d’Esclans is the estate that changed the world’s perception of Provençal rosé. Founded by Sacha Lichine in 2006 in the hills above Saint-Tropez, it is the home of Whispering Angel — the wine that made pale Provence rosé a global phenomenon. Les Clans is the estate’s prestige expression: a step above Whispering Angel in every dimension, sourced from old-vine Grenache and Rolle grown in the heart of the Côtes de Provence and partially fermented in large oak barrels to develop the kind of richness, texture, and complexity rarely seen in rosé. This is a wine that drinks more like a fine white Burgundy than a summer patio pour — structured, mineral, and built to age. At $64.99, Les Clans is the rosé for serious wine lovers who want more than pretty pink.

Luminous pale salmon in the glass with an elegant, layered nose of ripe red berries, white peach, citrus blossom, and subtle vanilla and spice from the gentle oak aging. On the palate: dry, creamy, and beautifully structured, with vibrant acidity, refined minerality, and a long, sophisticated finish that lingers well after the glass is empty. Drink now through 2027, or cellar for a year or two to let the oak integrate fully. Pair with grilled lobster, seared scallops, sea bass, roasted chicken with herbes de Provence, duck confit, or aged cheeses.
