Born in Bordeaux, the son of Alexis Lichine—former owner of Château Prieuré-Lichine and Château Lascombes in Margaux—Sacha could have followed the well-worn path of classified growths. Instead, he chose to break with tradition in Provence. In 2006, he acquired a neglected estate and set out to achieve what few believed possible: to make rosé a truly great wine. It was a bold gamble, driven by sharp instinct and relentless effort. “I set out to make the best wine I could—and above all, one I truly loved.”Nearly twenty years later, his vision has reshaped the global perception of rosé.

With Château d’Esclans, rosé has entered a new era. Just as Champagne redefined sparkling wine, Esclans has set the standard for high-end rosé. This shift in perception—driven by a clear vision and meticulous craftsmanship—has paved the way for a new generation of wines. Whispering Angel is the introduction, but it’s within the Château range that the estate’s full ambition comes to life.

Since 2006, the estate has pursued nothing short of excellence—with Champagne-level precision, technical mastery, and cutting-edge equipment. The result: distinctive rosés with real depth, built to age and shine at the table.
