Descrizione

Rock Angel di Chateau D'esclans è un vino rosato raffinato che si distingue per la sua eleganza e complessità. Prodotto nei pittoreschi vigneti della Provenza, questo vino è il risultato di una selezione accurata delle migliori uve Grenache, Cinsault e Rolle. Al calice, si presenta con un colore rosa tenue, quasi traslucido, che lascia presagire la sua finezza.

Il bouquet aromatico è intenso e sofisticato, con note iniziali di frutti rossi come fragole e lamponi, seguite da sfumature di pesca bianca e agrumi. Un sentore floreale di fiori bianchi aggiunge ulteriore complessità al profumo, rendendolo invitante e intrigante. Al palato, Rock Angel sorprende per la sua freschezza e mineralità ben equilibrate, con una struttura rotonda e setosa. I sapori fruttati si fondono armoniosamente con un'acidità vivace, offrendo un finale lungo e persistente.

Questo rosé è perfetto per essere abbinato a piatti di pesce, crostacei, insalate estive e formaggi freschi, ma è altresì indicato come aperitivo raffinato. Un vino versatile che incarna la tradizione e la qualità dei vini provenzali, rendendolo una scelta ideale per chi cerca un rosé di alta gamma. Rock Angel di Chateau D'esclans è senza dubbio un simbolo di eleganza e di eccellenza enologica della regione.

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.
