2021 Chateau d’Esclans 'Les Clans' Rose Cotes de Provence

Winemaker Notes: Epitomizing a sophisticated, food driven wine made from Grenache and Rolle (Vermentino), Les Clans (entirely fermented and aged in large French oak barrels) represents a particular disconnect with rosé in general as it is quite remarkable with potential to age or, if tempted, to enjoy with great pleasure sooner rather than later. This wine is both rich and exotic while being full bodied and elegant.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "A serious nose for a rosé, with some prominent oak spice, then fresh plums and nimble red berries. Full-bodied, dense and tightly wound, with a lovely phenolic structure. Yet, it remains pure. A fine touch of herbal and oak bitterness at the end, with natural, elegant acidity following through. Drinkable now, but better after 2023."
