On Day 8 of the Business Traveller Advent Calendar, one lucky reader can win a Jeroboam each of Whispering Angel 2020 and Rock Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé 2019, in addition to an open invitation for a private visit to Château d’Esclans Domaines Sacha Lichine.
During the visit the winner and travel companion(s) will learn about highly regarded viticulture and wine making practices, while experiencing the aesthetic beauty of the estate, situated in the heart of Provence. This will be followed by a comprehensive tasting of the wines.
Château d’Esclans is a magical property, situated in the heart of the world’s pre-eminent Rosé producing region, Provence, northeast of St Tropez, overlooking the Esclans Valley with the Mediterranean coast in the distance.
Leading wine expert Matthew Jukes, points to wine having “the integrity and honesty of a postcode wine… that comes from a certain part of the world and tells the truth about that terroir. Only when it does, can the wine be contemplated as totally top-end and ultra-fine.”
Herein lies where the quality proposition is established within the Château’s award winning range of renowned Rosés including Whispering Angel, Rock Angel and the Estate wines; Château d’Esclans, Les Clans and Garrus.
Each wine is produced from vineyards of the finest terroir; rich in clay, limestone and chalk. Add to that a highly regarded and expert wine making approach, in the state of the art cellars where craftsmanship is second to none.
This includes barrel fermentation and aging for the premium up to ultra-premium wines, unique in style for producing Rosé wines. Each offers a refreshing and delicious way to enhance the enjoyment when food-pairing with roast turkey, ham and other traditional accompaniments at this special time of year. Their pale pink colour blends right into the occasion!
To experience Rosé at its best, take your family on a culinary journey. First, a glass of Whispering Angel as a bright apéritif and then move to the partially barrel fermented and aged Rock Angel, which is more complex, structured and longer on the palate, most delicious with hors d’oeuvres.
By the time the main attraction is out of the oven, carved and ready to enjoy with all its trimmings, there should be three glasses on the table, ideally reserved for Château d’Esclans, Les Clans and Garrus.
Each of these not only ideally pair with your memorable and delicious feast but offer the possibility to trade up, with opulence and intensity as you taste through this tiered range of what are the world’s greatest and most celebrated Rosés.
