Chateau d'Esclans Les Clans Rosé 2023 | Côtes de Provence
Sacha Lichine’s flagship barrel-fermented rosé pushes past the category’s “summer sipper” cliché. Old-vine Grenache and Rolle ferment and age ten months in large French oak demi-muids, building Burgundian texture without burying Provençal fruit

Tasting Profile
Shell-peach hue. Jasmine, white peach, and citrus rise first, followed by hazelnut and vanilla from polished oak. The palate layers raspberry, currant, ripe pineapple, ginger, and a flicker of black licorice. Medium-plus body meets bright acidity, finishing long, saline, and quietly spicy
Pairing & Service
Serve 50 – 55 °F in a Burgundy stem. Handles tuna crudo, lobster with brown-butter, porcini risotto, or roast pheasant. The structure suits hard cheeses like Comté or Pecorino.
