Introduction:
A luxurious and layered expression of Provençal rosé, the 2022 Château d’Esclans Les Clans Côtes de Provence Rosé is crafted in the style of a pale red wine—elegant, complex, and wonderfully structured. A rosé with serious pedigree, designed for sipping and savoring.

Terroir:
Vines are planted on the chalky, clay-limestone soils of Côtes de Provence, benefiting from the Mediterranean climate with cooling Mistral winds. This combination yields refined structure, vibrant freshness, and nuanced minerality.

Appearance:
Delicate salmon-pink with subtle copper hues, brilliant and translucent in the glass.

Nose:
Complex and inviting—aromas of wild strawberry, rhubarb, and watermelon mingle with rose petal, licorice root, and a faint whisper of herbal thyme and forest floor.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and textural, with fine grip and refreshing acidity. Flavors of tart cherry, red currant, and cranberry are layered with subtle spice, saline minerality, and savory herbs. The entry is smooth, evolving gracefully toward the finish.

Finish:
Long and persistent, showcasing red fruit echoes, mineral salinity, and a delicate herbal lift. The texture is silky, with a refined tannic thread reminiscent of light Pinot Noir structure.

Overall Impression:
A top-tier Provençal rosé that walks the line between white and red wine elegance. Ideal with grilled salmon, tuna tartare, Provençal herb dishes, or simply on its own. Drink now through 2025 for optimal complexity.
