The Wine That Made Provence Rosé a Global Phenomenon — Now in Its 2025 Vintage

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. The 2025 vintage continues this tradition with characteristic precision and freshness — a wine of effortless elegance that has lost none of its magic after nearly two decades at the top.

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 that speaks of the estate's limestone soils. On the palate, the wine is light to medium-bodied, precise, and refreshing — vibrant acidity, a silky, almost weightless texture, and a long, clean, mineral finish with a gentle saline edge. This is Provence rosé at its most pure, elegant, and immediately satisfying — a wine that is as beautiful to look at as it is to drink.

Style & Drinking Window

Pale, delicate, and mineral-driven Provence rosé with exceptional freshness, purity, and length. Drinking at its absolute best now through 2027. Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C in a crisp white wine or rosé glass. No decanting required — simply open, pour, and enjoy.

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, oregano 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, saline-mineral finish.
