The Wine That Made Provence Rosé a Global Phenomenon — The 2024 Vintage

The 2024 Whispering Angel Rosé is the latest release of one of the world's most recognisable and influential rosé wines — a benchmark Provence rosé that combines freshness, elegance, and effortless drinkability. The 2024 vintage shows slightly more fruit generosity and charm, while retaining the pale, mineral precision that defines the style.

My Wine Man on Château d'Esclans

Château d'Esclans is the estate that redefined Provence rosé. When Sacha Lichine acquired the property in 2006 and partnered with legendary winemaker Patrick Léon — formerly of Château Mouton Rothschild — the goal was to elevate rosé into the fine wine category.

Whispering Angel became the global reference point — transforming Provence rosé into an international luxury style.

The 2024 vintage benefited from warm, dry conditions moderated by the cooling Mistral winds, producing fruit with excellent ripeness, aromatic lift, and natural freshness. Compared to cooler, more restrained vintages, 2024 offers a touch more richness and immediate appeal.

Tasting Notes

Pale blush-pink with brilliant clarity — the signature Provençal hue.

The nose is fresh and expressive, showing wild strawberry, raspberry, and ripe white peach, layered with rose petal, citrus zest, and a subtle mineral edge.

On the palate, light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and a silky texture. The 2024 shows slightly more roundness and fruit warmth, leading into a clean, mineral finish with a gentle saline touch. Elegant, smooth, and highly drinkable.

Food Pairing

Whispering Angel's pale delicacy and mineral precision make it one of the most effortlessly food-friendly wines in our range. We love it with Australian Boneless Butterflied Chicken in Greek Style Lemon & Herb Marinade from My Meat Man — the bright lemon and herb marinade echoes the wine's fresh wild strawberry, citrus zest and Provençal herb character, while the butterflied bird is the perfect long-lunch partner for Whispering Angel's clean, mineral finish.
