The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine It’s one of the greatest success stories in the wine world over the past two decades. Esclans has become a global phenomenon, its influence reaching far beyond France. Sacha Lichine has revolutionized rosé, elevating it to the status of a serious fine wine. Case in point: Whispering Angel is now the best-selling rosé in the United States.

Since 2006, every detail at the estate has been fine-tuned in pursuit of excellence—taking cues from Champagne’s precision and craftsmanship. From vinification to aging, the tools and techniques are top-tier, and the result is a wine that sets a new benchmark for quality in high-volume production.

Beyond Whispering Angel, the Château d’Esclans wines define a new standard for luxury rosé. Partially aged in barrel and built to age, they pair beautifully with refined cuisine and have earned their place on the most prestigious tables—including Michelin-starred restaurants. These are rosés crafted with the care and ambition of grand crus—don’t miss the chance to experience them.
Wine With its elegant pale hue, the 2022 Côtes de Provence Les Clans Rosé is a meticulously crafted wine, aged in 500-liter oak barrels that lend it a polished, textured character. This is a rosé that balances freshness with structure—broad, refined, and long on the palate. It’s built for the table and should be served like a fine white wine.
Vinification Hand harvested, fermentation in demi-muids (600-litre French oak barrels, new and one to two years old), aged for 11 months in barrels.
