Caves d'Esclans Whispering Angel Rose 2024

An iconic global benchmark for Provençal rosé, this vintage displays an ethereal pale pink color with beautiful salmon reflections. The nose opens with delicate aromas of fresh wild strawberry, white peach, mandarin orange, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs and wildflowers. On the palate, it is crisp, refreshing, and beautifully dry, layering flavors of red cherry, juicy pomegranate, and nectarine over a silken texture and a mineral-driven backbone. Balanced by a vibrant, lively acidity, it finishes incredibly clean, smooth, and round with a lingering touch of saline minerality.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled seafood skewers, a classic Niçoise salad, prosciutto-wrapped melon, fresh burrata with heirloom tomatoes, charcuterie boards, or a light berry tart.

92 Points - James Suckling

A well-rounded, focused and delicious rosé showing dried raspberries, frozen strawberries and mild spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. Balanced and driven, with a lively center palate and a persistent, flavorful finish.
