2025 Chateau d'Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé 1.5 Litre
The World's Most Iconic Provence Rosé — In the Format Made for Celebration
My Wine Man on Château d'Esclans
There is before Whispering Angel, and there is after. When Sacha Lichine acquired Château d'Esclans in 2006 and launched Whispering Angel, he didn't just create a wine — he created a cultural movement. Within a decade, Whispering Angel had become the most recognised rosé label in the world, transforming Provence rosé from a regional summer curiosity into a global luxury category stocked in the finest restaurants, beach clubs, and wine lists from Hong Kong to the Hamptons. The secret is deceptively simple: exceptional raw material from the limestone and clay soils of the Var, meticulous winemaking by the team trained under legendary consultant Patrick Léon — formerly of Château Mouton Rothschild — and an unwavering commitment to the pale, delicate, mineral style that defines great Provence rosé. In magnum, Whispering Angel becomes something more: the larger format preserves freshness and aromatic precision with even greater fidelity, while making an unmistakable statement at any table. A 1.5L magnum of Whispering Angel is the ultimate crowd-pleaser — beautiful, generous, and guaranteed to set the tone for a memorable occasion.
Tasting Notes
Pale blush-pink with a luminous, almost water-white clarity — the signature colour that launched a thousand imitations. The nose is immediately fresh, delicate, and inviting — wild strawberry, fresh raspberry, and white peach lead, followed by subtle notes of rose petal, citrus zest, and a clean, stony minerality. In magnum, the wine shows even greater aromatic lift and freshness — the larger format's slower oxidation preserving the wine's delicate floral and citrus notes with exceptional precision. On the palate, light to medium-bodied, precise, and refreshing — vibrant acidity, a silky texture, and a long, clean, mineral finish with a gentle saline edge.
Style & Drinking Window
Pale, delicate, and mineral-driven Provence rosé with exceptional freshness, purity, and length. In magnum, drinking at its absolute best now through 2028. Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C. No decanting required — simply open, pour generously, and enjoy in great company.
Food Pairing
A magnum of Whispering Angel was made for a long, leisurely table. We love it with The Bare Bird Premium Free Range Whole Boneless Butterflied Chicken (800g) from My Meat Man — roasted with Provençal herbs, lemon and olive oil, the generous, free-range bird is the perfect centrepiece for a magnum lunch, mirroring the wine's wild strawberry and citrus aromatics while the saline-mineral finish carries the clean, herb-driven flesh beautifully.
