Notes | |||
"Rock Angel is partially barrel fermented in large oak barrels and made from Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle (Vermentino). This rosé bears a more complex and structured taste profile than Whispering Angel bringing it into a more premium realm giving rosé lovers a bigger and richer wine that is fabulous as an aperitif or paired with a broad range of fine cuisine. If you like the minerality of a Sancerre, you will love this wine." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"A rosé with substance, offering cooked pears, green apples and light honey undertones. Medium to full body and a creamy texture. Flavorful and beautiful. Hint of cedar coming through and just a hint of bitterness at the end, which adds to the complexity. A little more barrel work here provides greater complexity. Drink now." —James Suckling "Bottled just a week prior to my April visit, the 2021 Cotes de Provence Rose Rock Angel was still showing well. Scents of toasty oak and vanilla accent tangerine and peach on the nose, giving this medium-bodied rosé an almost creamsicle-like aspect. Generous, silky and long, it might be even better later this year." —Wine Advocate "The latest release of this wine in the range from Esclans is a ripe, full rosé. It has the crispness but the red fruits are warm and rounded. That gives a fine rosé that is definitely made for food and will be ready from 2023." —Wine Enthusiast |
