Chateau d`Esclans Rose

Note:

“One of the biggest challenges facing our judges every year are the daunting flights of rose. We want to find the best, but when quality (as is the case, almost uniquely, for rose) is defined by understatement, nuance, suggestion and a drinkability hard to gauge in the tasting context, then the levels of concentration required on the part of judges are considerable. After no fewer than three succeeding rounds of scrutiny, this wine emerged above its peers thanks to its impeccable grain and nuance. Look out for pristine fresh red fruits balanced by a surreptitious richness on the nose. On the palate, the misty sheen of fruit meets the quiet vitality of soft-focus strawberry and redcurrant. The use of Rolle and Tibouren in the blend brings creaminess, marrow and just enough warmth and glycerol to the wine to carry it through repeated sipping without every cloying or catching. Masterful composition, for those who care to look”.
