A refined and expressive Côtes de Provence rosé from Château d’Esclans, Rock Angel 2023 delivers elegance with depth. Crafted from estate and select partner vineyards, it blends Grenache and Rolle (Vermentino) to create a wine that’s both textured and vibrant. Aromas of delicate red berries, peach, and spring flowers lead to a rich, racy palate framed by subtle oak influence and a flinty minerality. The finish is long, silky, and refined, making it a standout in the estate’s range.

The 2023 Cotes de Provence Rose Rock Angel was crafted from owned Château d'Esclans grapes and purchased grapes. Evoking aromas of peach, pear, spring flowers and spices, it's moderately weighted, lively and tense with a juicy mid-palate that segues into a mouthwatering finish. This is a real classic and a well-crafted rosé.

Very pale salmon. Sister product to Whispering Angel. Definitely a step up with a smooth, caressing texture and no faults even if its slightly low acidity might get a little tiring over time. Well made with a pretty perfume. Some persistence too.
