Rock Angel Rosé, Château D'Esclans, Provence 2020 (Magnum 150cl)

Please note this wine will be dispatched from w/c 10th May.

Following on from Whispering Angel 2020 which many of you will be enjoying now, we are delighted to be offering you magnums of her big brother Rock Angel (Rock as we call it) at the special release price of £47.50 per bottle - a saving of £6.45 off our normal retail price.

It is a serious rosé more akin to a good white Burgundy. Hand crafted entirely by Château D'Esclans, Rock is partly barrel fermented to add richness and texture, and made in small quantities. It has magnificent subtle fresh fruit flavours, just the right amount of body and a long fine finish. An exquisite rosé if ever there was one.

What do the critics say?
Due to its recent release, the 2020 vintage has not yet had the opportunity to be reviewed by the critics. Here is a selection of critics on the previous vintages:

"A rosé made for fine cuisine, very pale indeed with a sensuous nose hinting at what is to come - restrained summer fruits, peaches and passion fruit." - Jonathan Ray, The Spectator
"Proves every season is rosé season." - The Daily Front Row

"It possesses more than a little gravitas while still drinking well from the off the finest vintage to date." 18/20 - Matthew Jukes

"Rounded and rich with flavors that mingle comfortably together. Ripe aftertaste." 90/100 - Roger Voss (Wine Enthusiast)

"It might be young but theres a power to this wine. Its crisp and clean on the nose, and the fruit waits until its needed." - Tony Harries (Winefullness)

"A rosé with substance. Medium to full body and a creamy texture. Flavorful and beautiful." 93/100 - James Suckling

"A little more soft rock than punk thanks to a little time in the barriques giving a slightly more rounded mouthful." - 93 points, Patrick Schmitt
