The Château d'Esclans Story — The Rosé Revolution

Situated in the picturesque hills of Provence, near the charming village of La Motte, Château d'Esclans is one of the world's most influential rosé wine estates.

The property's history stretches back centuries, with its beautiful château and vineyards occupying a privileged position in the heart of the Côtes de Provence appellation.

In 2006, wine entrepreneur Sacha Lichine acquired the estate with an ambitious vision: to create exceptional rosé wines capable of competing with the finest white and red wines in the world.

When rosé was often seen as a simple seasonal beverage, Lichine recognized the extraordinary potential of Provence's vineyards and traditional grape varieties.

Working with renowned winemaking expertise and modern production techniques, Château d'Esclans helped redefine rosé as a sophisticated, premium wine category.

The estate's portfolio now includes some of Provence's most prestigious rosés, including Rock Angel, Château d'Esclans, Les Clans and Garrus.

At the heart of this remarkable success story is Whispering Angel, a wine that has become an international symbol of refined rosé drinking.

Whispering Angel — An Icon of Provence

Whispering Angel represents the perfect expression of the Château d'Esclans philosophy: exceptional quality, elegant presentation and a beautifully approachable style.

Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Côtes de Provence region, the wine blends traditional Provençal grape varieties to create a harmonious balance of freshness, fruit, and delicate complexity.

Grenache adds ripe red-berry flavors and a generous, rounded texture.

Cinsault introduces delicate floral aromas, elegance and refreshing lightness.

Rolle, also known as Vermentino, enhances the wine's citrus character, aromatic freshness and mineral precision.

Syrah contributes subtle structure and additional depth.

Together, these varieties create the distinctive personality that has made Whispering Angel one of the world's most recognizable premium rosé wines.
