Having scored 17/20 from Jancis Robinson MW its arguable that Whispering Angel has achieved its goal of making the greatest rosé on the planet.  Has it been hyped? Definitely. Does it live up to the hype? Undoubtedly. With the Whispering Angel Rose 2023, you seem to get a little bit more of the good stuff. A little more strawberry and cherry fruit.  A little bit more power and concentration. A little bit more refinement and a smile thats a little bit wider after the first sip. Global demand for Whispering Angel is crazy and price rises seem inevitable, so stock up now while you can.

About the Producer

Château dEsclans is located on an exceptional site, on elevated land near the Gorges de Pennafort, twenty five kilometers northwest of the ancient Roman city of Frejus on the Mediterranean coast. The first traces of the châteaus site date back to the times of the Gauls during which its location served as a lookout point to spot intruders coming by boat into the Gulf of Frejus. The châteaus cellar structure or foundation (known today as the oldest in the region) housed an original Château that was given by the Comte de Provence to Gérard De Villeneuve, in 1201. The current château, inspired by Tuscan Villa design, was built during the mid 19th century.
