When Sacha Lichine acquired the property in 2006 and partnered with legendary winemaker Patrick Léon — formerly of Château Mouton Rothschild — the ambition was clear: to produce rosé wines of genuine grand cru quality, capable of standing alongside the world's finest whites. Rock Angel is d'Esclans' most serious estate expression — sourced from the oldest Grenache vines on the property, some over 50 years old, and fermented and aged in large French oak barrels to produce a rosé of genuine complexity, texture, and depth. In magnum, Rock Angel takes on an additional dimension: the larger format slows the aging process, preserving freshness and aromatic precision while allowing the wine's oak-influenced richness and complexity to develop with even greater elegance and integration. A 1.5L magnum of Rock Angel is not just a wine — it is a statement of intent, and the perfect centrepiece for a serious table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePale copper-pink with a luminous, golden-tinged clarity that hints at the wine's oak-influenced richness. The nose is immediately more complex and layered than a typical Provence rosé — ripe white peach, apricot, and fresh raspberry lead, followed by notes of warm brioche, toasted almond, wild herbs, and a subtle, stony minerality. The oak influence is seamlessly integrated — adding texture and complexity without imposing itself on the wine's fresh, aromatic character. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a rich, creamy texture, vibrant acidity, and a long, spiced, mineral finish with excellent persistence. In magnum, the wine shows even greater freshness and aromatic lift — a rosé that rewards attention and evolves beautifully over the course of a long, leisurely meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle \u0026amp; Drinking Window\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich, textured, oak-influenced Provence rosé with exceptional complexity, depth, and length.
