Château d'Esclans The Pale Rosé is a classic French rosé wine made with great care to ensure high quality. To avoid oxidation, the grapes are harvested at night. This cuvée wine is made from a blend of several grape varieties, including Grenache, Caladoc and Cinsault. The carefully selected grapes are aged for 5-8 months in stainless steel tanks, which leads to a rich taste experience.
Château d'Esclans was formerly a residence of the Counts of Provence. It was later owned by Jacques Auxile Verrion, War Commissioner of Louis XV, who became Count of Esclans under Charles X. Sacha Lichine purchased Château d'Esclans in 2005, from a Swedish pension fund. Over ten years, he increased production from 135,000 bottles per year to 5 million bottles per year. Lichine targeted the North American market, transforming rosé wine as a lifestyle accessory. He brought in Patrick Léon as winemaker, who had retired from Mouton Rothschild.
Its aroma is dominated by fruitiness and subtle perfume nuances, and its taste is berry fruit, pleasant acidity and fresh aromas. It is an excellent choice on its own, but it is also great as a refreshing splash, with fruits, desserts or as an accompaniment to spicy dishes, especially in the summer months.
