“In the Esclans Valley, angels whisper. If you drink this wine, you might hear them… If you visit us, you might see them.” - Sacha Lichine
Nestled in the heart of Provence, northeast of the glamorous St. Tropez, lies Château d’Esclans. Perched atop a hill, it overlooks the breathtaking Esclans Valley and the azure Mediterranean coast. The old vines and its privileged location were the foundation upon which Sacha Lichine envisioned creating the finest rosés in the world and igniting the “Rosé Renaissance”. Patrick Léon, an international winemaker with expertise at Château Mouton Rothschild and Opus One, joined Lichine in this monumental endeavour. They introduced innovative winemaking techniques to Provence, drawing inspiration from Burgundy, which revolutionised the rosé styles of the region. This transformative approach resulted in the creation of an extraordinary collection of rosé wines catering to diverse tastes and preferences, with Garrus, a rosé crafted from 100-year-old vines, serving as its flagship. At the same time, the deafening success of Whispering Angel is the most enviable wine success story of the last 20 years.
