Chateau D'Esclans, Les Clans, Provence Rosé, 2022

ABOUT THE WINE. Les Clans is the emblem of quiet luxury within the Château d'Esclans portfolio—an opulent, oak-aged rosé crafted with the precision and detail of fine white Burgundy. Sourced from old-vine Grenache and Rolle grown in the estate’s most prized parcels, Les Clans 2022 continues to push the boundaries of what rosé can be.. Fermented and aged in large French oak barrels with weekly bâtonnage, this wine delivers structure, richness, and complexity more typically associated with top-tier Chardonnay. The 2022 vintage benefited from a warm but balanced growing season in Provence, ensuring generous fruit and natural acidity.. TASTING NOTES. Pale rose-gold in colour. On the nose, Les Clans 2022 offers expressive aromas of white peach, baked citrus, acacia blossom, and light vanilla oak. The palate is broad and creamy, with layers of orchard fruit, stone, and a touch of spice. There’s a notable minerality beneath the ripe fruit, and the finish is long, textured, and refined.. FOOD PAIRING. A gastronomic rosé that shines with rich, elegant dishes. Pair with butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, roasted chicken with truffle jus, or creamy risottos. Its subtle oak and balanced acidity also make it a standout companion to tuna tartare, mushroom terrines, or poultry en croûte.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. Les Clans is for the rosé drinker who wants more—more depth, more character, more elegance. Sitting just below Garrus in the Château d'Esclans hierarchy, it shares the same meticulous winemaking philosophy but offers a slightly softer, more generous profile. For those seeking a wine that bridges the gap between prestige rosé and grand cru white, Les Clans 2022 delivers in every way.. WHERE TO BUY IN THE UK?.
