Following on from my glowing review of the Gassier 946 ros\u00e9, here are a couple more Provence examples worthy of serious attention. They are from super-ambitious Ch\u00e2teau d’Esclans, who make the world’s most expensive ros\u00e9, and probably the second most expensive, too. These new releases from them are quite lovely. Is it time to start taking pink wines more seriously? I think so.<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau d’Esclans Rock Angel Ros\u00e9 2014 C\u00f4tes de Provence, France<\/strong>
\n14% alcohol. This is the first year of this re-brand of what used to be the estate wine from Esclans. It’s aromatic, fresh and floral with lovely subtle herbal tones and notes of raspberry, tangerine and cherry. There’s elegance here, and also a bit of spicy warmth. Very textural, allying richness and freshness. 92\/100<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau d’Esclans Les Clans Ros\u00e9 2013 C\u00f4tes de Provence, France<\/strong>
\n14% alcohol. Salmon pink with a hint of orange. Fresh, elegant and refined with lovely texture to the pear, spice and toast flavours. Quite warm and seamless with faint hints of cherries and strawberries, but this isn’t particularly fruit driven. Sophisticated but not intrusive barrel ferment characters, as well as fine fennel and herb notes. It’s quite hard to describe, because this isn’t a typical ros\u00e9, but it’s beautiful. 93\/100<\/p>\n
