"Made by the creators of the world-famous Whispering Angel rosé - the property where this is produced features the cherubic angels that inspired that wine on its chapel walls - this has sensational class and a profoundly long finish."
Matthew Jukes' Wine List - Daily Mail 12.03.2022
This is a new release from Chateau d'Esclans and sits between Rock Angel and Les Clans. It is absolutely delicious and if you are looking to try something different then this comes highly recommended.
Pure on the nose. Long and finely chiseled on the palate. Excellent balance between freshness and volume.
