Château d'Esclans - Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé (375ml)
Chateau d’Esclans, a magical property, is situated in the heart of Provence, northeast of St. Tropez. With his acquisition of the Château in 2006, Sacha Lichine’s vision was to create the greatest rosés in the world, igniting the “Rosé Renaissance”. Now in its sixteenth vintage, Château d’Esclans is home to Whispering Angel.
Château d’Esclans’ harvest takes place each September from sunrise to noon to avoid the heat of the day. During the harvest, grapes, at their ripest, are selected, picked and carefully placed in small (10 kilo) crates this size of which is chosen in order to avoid too many grapes at the top crushing grapes at the bottom of the crates. Caves d’Esclans Whispering Angel and some of Rock Angel’s voluminous quantity of grapes are mechanically harvested at night time to avoid heat of the day as well.
The grapes are sorted manually and once more using a computer-controlled camera. All grapes which go into vinification are perfectly de-stemmed and meet the requirements of wine maker regarding shape, size, color and general condition. After sorting, grapes are cold-pressed in Nitrogen (7 - 8 °C) in order to avoid oxidation and to maintain freshness. Fermentation takes place either in barrels or stainless steel containers, depending on whether the grape comes from a first pressing or subsequent ones.
Finally, wines are blended in order to maintain consistency between vintages.
