Château d'Esclans

Château d'Esclans produces rosés in Côtes de Provence, a region celebrated for pale, dry wines of surprising depth and structure. The winery's flagship Garrus Rosé blends Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache Blanc into a wine of notable complexity. Les Clans Rosé, built from Vermentino, Grenache, and Shiraz, offers a different expression of the terroir. Rock Angel Rosé, a single-varietal Grenache, rounds out the portfolio. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter, reflecting their place within serious wine discourse. Provence rosé has long occupied an ambiguous position—dismissed by some as summer quaffing, yet capable of the mineral precision and aging potential that serious collectors recognize. Château d'Esclans's releases demonstrate this potential, moving beyond the stereotype of the region's lighter offerings.
