Product Description:
Provence in a bottle—pale pink, bone dry, and globally adored. Whispering Angel Rosé 2024 is the benchmark for modern Provence rosé—fresh, fragrant, and endlessly drinkable. Crafted at Château d’Esclans from hand-harvested grapes and state-of-the-art vinification, this is a wine that champions both place and precision. Sourced from the best vineyards in the Esclans Valley, it’s made from a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Rolle (Vermentino), and Carignan—fermented in stainless steel and aged on lees for added texture and finesse.
Sacha Lichine’s vision to elevate rosé into the realm of fine wine has paid off with global cult status. Behind its whisper-light hue lies serious winemaking—manual and optical sorting, low-temperature vinification, and rigorous blending keep every vintage true to style: dry, detailed, and bright. This 2024 release is no exception, with its silken texture and lively acidity carrying notes of red berries, citrus and delicate florals.
Pair with grilled salmon, goat cheese salad or sip it solo. A perennial favourite for a reason.
The Maker
Caves d’Esclans is the winemaking heart of Château d’Esclans, an estate in the Côtes de Provence that has become synonymous with modern rosé. Established under the vision of Sacha Lichine, the cellars draw on both the estate’s vineyards and select parcels from trusted growers across the Esclans Valley. This wider sourcing allows Caves d’Esclans to craft a spectrum of rosés, from the approachable Whispering Angel to more structured and age-worthy cuvées.
The cellars are where tradition meets innovation, combining old-vine Grenache with meticulous vinification and oak ageing where appropriate. It is this attention to detail in the caves that has propelled the estate’s wines to global acclaim, reshaping perceptions of Provence rosé.
Philosophy
Caves d’Esclans was created with a clear ambition: to show the world that rosé can be as complex, refined and compelling as any fine wine. This philosophy is rooted in respect for provenance, sourcing fruit from both the château’s own vineyards and carefully chosen neighbouring plots to capture the full expression of the Côtes de Provence.
The approach is modern yet grounded in craft — low yields, precision winemaking and a willingness to challenge conventions. Each cuvée represents not just a style of rosé but a statement of what the region can achieve, from everyday pleasure to cellar-worthy depth. At its core, Caves d’Esclans is about expanding the possibilities of rosé, while keeping Provence at the centre of the story.

Reviews & Accolades
“A well-rounded, focused and delicious rosé showing dried raspberries, frozen strawberries and mild spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. Balanced and driven, with a lively center palate and a persistent, flavorful finish.” – James Suckling, 92 Points
“Whispering Angel is a classic choice for rosé lovers. Made from a pretty luscious palate, it is incredibly dry. The floral and fruity aroma showcases lavender, clove and cherry notes, while the palate holds hints of spicy minerality that lead into a smooth and round finish.” – Observer
