Among Provence's most sought-after rosés, Whispering Angel 2025 offers a bright, contemporary take on the Côtes de Provence AOP. Crafted by Caves d’Esclans, this refined wine is aimed at lovers of pure elegance—those looking for a precise, dry rosé without weight, capable of lighting up the table without overpowering it. From the first hint of its very pale colour to the caress of a smooth finish, everything here speaks of controlled delicacy. It answers a simple yet exacting desire: a high-quality rosé true to the Mediterranean spirit but decisively modern, where freshness pairs with a full yet airy texture. Its signature comes from rigorous sorting, quality musts and a vinification designed to preserve the fruit's vibrancy. It's an ideal companion for the art of living à la française—evoking sun, conversation and lightness without any excess. As an aperitif, with seasonal cooking or alongside subtly spiced dishes, it unfolds a clear, harmonious aromatic profile—nuanced enough to seduce the connoisseur, accessible enough to welcome the newcomer to a moment of pure pleasure.

Assemblage et vinification

Whispering Angel 2025 is made from Provence's emblematic varieties, primarily Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle (Vermentino), with occasional touches of Syrah or Tibouren depending on the vintage. Caves d’Esclans pays particular attention to the quality of the musts to deliver a clean, finely chiseled fruit expression. Fermentation and ageing take place in stainless-steel tanks, a decisive choice to preserve the freshness, aromatic precision and textural purity that define the cuvée's reputation. This unfussy approach highlights the restrained succulence of red berries, clear floral notes and a finely sketched spicy thread. The result, faithful to the house aesthetic, combines moderate breadth with thirst-quenching tension. The outcome is a remarkably coherent rosé built on balance and clarity, designed to express itself gracefully now at table or on the terrace.

Notes de dégustation

• Appearance: very pale, bright and clear, almost diaphanous, announcing a crystalline style and great subtlety of expression. The visual clarity reflects precise handling of the juices and a vinification focused on purity.
• Nose: elegant intensity of strawberry and raspberry, lifted by a delicate floral bouquet and discreet gentle spices. The whole remains clean and upright, without heaviness, with an immediate aromatic clarity.
• Palate: dry profile, light to medium body, fluid and caressing texture. Freshness drives the tasting; the finish is smooth, delicately tangy, with no bitterness or astringency, resulting in exemplary drinkability.

Serving temperature and advice

To showcase its finesse, serve Whispering Angel 2025 chilled, ideally between 8 and 10°C, in white-wine glasses that will encourage aromatic expression and palate precision. Opening a few minutes before serving is enough to release its fruity and floral accents without compromising tension. Avoid temperatures that are too low, which numb aromas and harden the structure, as well as narrow glasses that compress the bouquet. This rosé is enjoyable throughout a meal, gaining nuance as it warms slightly in the glass. Its purity makes it a natural choice for convivial moments, sunny lunches and dinners where you want a wine of great stature that remains approachable and impeccably elegant.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs: olive oil toasts, fine tapenades, crunchy vegetables, briny bites.
• Starters: seasonal salads with fresh herbs, delicate ceviches, fish carpaccios.
• Main courses: grilled fish, pan-seared prawns, citrus-roasted poultry, Mediterranean dishes.
• World flavours: light Asian dishes with moderate spices, dishes that call for freshness and precision.
• Cheeses: soft bloomy-rind cheeses and fresh herb cheeses, for delicate matches.

• For a garden lunch, where conversation lingers in soft light.
