“2020 Rock is a magnificent creation and this wine soars above the others in terms of structure balanced with innate elegance… composed and effortlessly grand Whispering Angel’s big sister is a thrilling wine in 2020.” – Matthew Jukes
“From one of the most well-known rosé brands around the world Rock Angel is the bigger more intense and nuanced brother to Whispering Angel.” – Decanter
Rock Angel is another iconic rosé from Caves d’Esclans the estate that brought you Whispering Angel and the phenomenal Garrus. Stylistically Rock Angel sits between those two great wines. It’s made by Bertrand Léon who took over from his father Patrick Léon the former winemaker at Château Mouton Rothschild. The grapes come from old vines in La Motte en Provence these are partly fermented in stainless steel and partly in oak barrels the latter adding texture body and great roundness. Tangy redcurrant and wild strawberry mingle with lemon cream toasted almonds refreshing pink grapefruit nectarine and a pinch of black pepper. The additional weight and elegance make this a fabulous food wine so drink it as an aperitif with nibbles or alongside seafood grilled artichokes poached salmon or barbeques. However just like the other wines from Caves d’Esclans all Rock Angel really needs is sunshine.
The history of the blue-shuttered and hydrangea-surrounded Château d’Esclans dates back to the 12th Century but Sacha Lichine of the famous Bordeaux family revolutionised the estate in 2006 when he turned the focus on to premium rosé. Now its monumental Provence rosés are household names and quite simply must-haves.
