Château d'Esclans is a wine producer in Provence, specializing in full-bodied, dry rosé wines primarily from the Grenache wine grape variety.
The flagship wine is the top-of-the-range Garrus cuvée, which is one of the most important (and highly priced) rosé wines in Provence. It was first produced in 2006 and was met with high acclaim. Since, only tiny quantities of the toasty, full-bodied and highly sought after rosé is made each vintage.
It is also reputable for its entry-level Whispering Angel Rosé, which is exported around the world to multiple countries.
The château was built in the 12th Century and is located on an elevated site, between Saint-Tropez and Cannes. About 44 hectares (110 ac) here are under vine, with Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsaut, Rolle and Syrah all represented.
Some of the Grenache vines at the highest elevations are up to 90 years old, making them some of the oldest in Provence. These low-yielding vines give the d'Esclans wines concentration and richness.
Transforming the identity of our iconic rosé, all while preserving our authentic Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence wine, we have been inspired by our planet. It is only right that with The Beach’s commitment to sustainability, beach preservation, and more, we show the world that the same love and care that goes into each bottle should go into protecting our planet, pink sand beaches and all, for generations to come.Aroma

The Beach rosé is subtle and smooth…showing a balanced acidity and minerality with delicious citrus and red fruit flavours.

This rosé wine is fresh and round with a light and long peach, citrus flare.
