Ctes de Provence Ros Rock Angel Cuve dEsclans is a structured, expressive ros from Chteau dEsclans, offering more depth and complexity than its sibling Whispering Angel. Crafted from Grenache and Rolle with smaller proportions of Tibouren, Cinsault and Syrah, it delivers a dry, medium-bodied style with elegant fruit and subtle spice.

Meet the producer

Chteau dEsclans, led by Sacha Lichine, is one of Provences most influential estates, known for redefining ros with a premium, terroir-driven approach. Rock Angel is positioned as a more serious, ageworthy ros within the portfolio.

Production

Grapes are sourced from select hillside vineyards in Ctes de Provence. Fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels, with partial barrel ageing to build texture and complexity while preserving freshness. Light oak influence adds subtle spice and structure.

Tasting notes

Pale salmon-pink in colour. The nose reveals red currants, candied raspberries and mild spice. The palate is medium-bodied and focused, with forest berries, stone fruit and a tangy, mouthwatering finish. A touch of white pepper and savoury minerality adds lift and length.

Food match

Pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roast chicken, summer salads, and Provenal dishes. Also excellent with lobster, sushi or creamy cheeses.
