Château d’Esclans Les Clans 2023 Review
Château d’Esclans is the estate behind one of summer’s most iconic bottles: Whispering Angel. But the winery makes more than just that one label. This is a higher-end offering from the Provence producer, made with a blend of Grenache and Rolle (known elsewhere as Vermentino), and aged for 10 months in a mix of new and used barrels. Though Rolle is common in Provence rosés, it usually makes up a minor part of the blend. Here, it takes on a larger role, adding a strong acid structure to the wine. This bright acidity frames notes of tart peaches, grapefruit, vanilla, and a chalky minerality.
