Château d’Esclans Rock Angel… the highly eligible wine, if you serve it they’re going to come.

This is all subject to accurate temperature regulate to optimise every stage. It’s all time, money, skill and knowledge expertly combined and you’ll taste it in the glass! A wonderful wine, serve it nice and cold and enjoy the transitions as it opens up.

Fresh and dry with a little creaminess, but with a fullness of taste befitting a seriously well-made wine. Be ready for a subtle peachiness with a trace of spice and signature Provencal herbs. Delicate notes of wood and a superb, satisfying, long finish.

Chateau d’Esclans is located on an exceptional site, on elevated land near the Gorges de Pennafort, twenty kilometers northwest of the ancient Roman city of Frejus on the Mediterranean coast. The first traces of the chateau’s site date back to Gaullist times all the way through which its location served as a lookout point to spot intruders coming by boat into the Gulf of Frejus. The surrounding land around Chateau d’Esclans is referred to as La Vallee des Esclans (the valley of the clans). At one point all of the area was once a part of the chateau’s property and through the years was once gradually parceled out. In 2006 Sacha Lichine acquired Chateau d’Esclans beginning a new and exciting history for this remarkable Chateau and the 267 hectares surrounding it. Awarded The Wine Enthusiast`s European Winery of The Year Award for 2014.
