Description

Rock Angel Magnum di Chateau D'esclans è un sofisticato rosé proveniente dalla rinomata regione di Côtes de Provence, in Francia. Questo vino rappresenta l'eccellenza nella tradizione vinicola, offrendo una complessità e una finezza che lo rendono ideale per i palati più esigenti.

Le uve utilizzate per il Rock Angel sono selezionate con estrema cura e l'attenzione ai dettagli si riflette nel prodotto finale. Il blend tipico include Grenache e Rolle (Vermentino), che conferiscono al vino un equilibrio perfetto tra freschezza e struttura.

Al calice, il Rock Angel si presenta con un colore rosa pallido, quasi cipria, invitante alla vista. Al naso, rivela un bouquet avvolgente di fragola, pompelmo e note floreali leggere. In bocca, è fresco e delicato ma al contempo complesso, con gusti di frutta matura, agrumi e una leggera nota minerale che completa il profilo gustativo. L'acidità ben bilanciata e il finale lungo e persistente ne fanno un compagno perfetto per piatti di pesce, insalate fresche e antipasti raffinati.

La grande formato Magnum non solo esalta l'evoluzione del vino durante l'invecchiamento, ma è anche l'ideale per condividere momenti speciali con amici e famiglia. Chateau D'esclans, con Rock Angel, conferma la sua reputazione di produttore di alcuni tra i migliori rosé al mondo, offrendo un'esperienza sensoriale unica e indimenticabile.

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.
