Il Whispering Angel Salmanazar di Chateau D'Esclans è un esempio superbo del rinomato rosato provenzale. Prodotto nella prestigiosa regione della Provenza, questo vino offre un equilibrio perfetto tra freschezza e complessità, caratteristiche distintive dell'approccio innovativo e della passione di Chateau D'Esclans.

Al calice, si presenta con un colore rosa tenue e brillante che evoca la luce soffusa del tramonto provenzale. Al naso, incanta con aromi delicati di fragoline di bosco, pesca bianca e melone, intrecciati con lievi sfumature floreali e di agrumi. Questo bouquet aromatico equilibrato ne garantisce un’esperienza olfattiva raffinata e complessa.

In bocca, il Whispering Angel Salmanazar si rivela fresco e vivo, con una struttura elegante e una mineralità ben integrata. I sapori di frutta rossa matura, agrumi e note erbacee si fondono armoniosamente, offrendo un palato lungo, pulito e rinfrescante. La sua acidità vivace e la morbidezza dei tannini conferiscono a questo rosato un’ottima bevibilità e una persistenza che invita al secondo sorso.

Ideale da abbinare a piatti di pesce, grigliate di pollo, insalate estive o semplicemente come aperitivo, il Whispering Angel Salmanazar è perfetto per le occasioni conviviali e i momenti di relax. La sua eleganza e la sua raffinatezza ne fanno una scelta eccezionale per chi desidera esplorare l'eccellenza della vinificazione rosata francese.

Winery history
The estate has ancient origins and is known as a benchmark wine in the Côtes de Provence. Sacha Lichine acquired and revitalized the estate in 2005–2006, bringing it to a global audience; in 2019 a majority stake was acquired by Moët Hennessy/LVMH. Under Lichine's leadership the estate introduced modern production practices and a range of cuvées with both commercial appeal and premium profiles.
Production philosophy
The approach is to elevate rosé to a gastronomic wine: targeted early-morning harvests, hand selection and optical sorting of the clusters, and the combined use of vinification in stainless steel and in casks to create wines that are fresh yet structured. The winery emphasizes technological control and careful grape selection to maintain consistency of style across vintages.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in the valle d'Esclans, in the commune of La Motte-en-Provence, within the protected AOC Côtes de Provence area. The terrain is typically Mediterranean, with mixed soils planted with old vines.
