Château d’Esclans lights the way for rosé

Luminous bottle debuts

This fall, Château d’Esclans of Provence, France, will continue to increase global rosé consumption with the debut of their new, first-of-its-kind luminous bottle, Rock After Dark. Exclusively available at select hot spots around the globe, patrons will be able to enjoy the glowing bottle, beautifully featuring an etched Roman goddess, in a high-energy nighttime setting.

“At Château d’Esclans, we’re continually looking to reinvent the rosé category while maintaining an elevated experience,” says developer Sacha Lichine. “The Rock After Dark luminous bottle will allow rosé to have a new occasion, with this eye-catching bottle, and we’re thrilled that we’re able to expand the category into new occasions with this product designed specifically for the night.”

The brand is no stranger to disrupting the rosé category.Intentionally designed to enjoy after the sun sets, the glowing bottle allows for ease of pouring in a nightlife setting with a Stevlin Lux closure, rather than the standard cork top.

Rock After Dark is produced from a small selection of select terroirs at Château d’Esclans. The wine is described as fresh, lively, expressive and aromatic. Lichine notes that this flavour profile has been missing in this space and represents an opportunity to expand the #RoséAllDay movement to #RoséAfterDark.

Available exclusively in a magnum format, Rock After Dark seeks to elevate the rosé lifestyle that already speaks to glamour, luxury and the joie de vivre.

The Rock After Dark Bottle will officially launch in the U.S. at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix on Nov. 21-23

Patrick’s first creation was Château d’Esclans, an elegant and complex wine with notes of white peach, honey dew, guava and hints of lavender, which retails today for $60 per bottle. It is produced with 30-35 year old grape vines, and is 50% fermented in large neutral oak barrels. Given that 99% of rosé wine made in the world is fermented in 100% stainless steel tanks, this was revolutionary.

“It is a beautiful wine, but at that time, the market was not yet ready to accept a rosé wine at that price point,” stated Paul. So they decided to create a more approachable, classic style of rosé wine, and that is how Whispering Angel was born.

Whispering Angel is made from younger Provence grape vines and is 100% fermented in stainless steel, which gives it a fresh floral note with red berry on the palate and a smooth round finish. Priced around $18 per bottle when it first entered the market, it has grown to be the best selling rosé wine in the U.S. market, with a suggested retail price point today of $25 per bottle.

“Sacha named it ‘Whispering Angel,’ because there is a chapel at the Château d’Esclans with two angels above the alter, and it looks like they are whispering to one another,” explained Paul.

But still – even though it is hard to believe today – it was difficult to sell Whispering Angel when the brand was first introduced. “We had to hit the road and call on accounts with samples for people to taste. We mainly focused on restaurants, because wine shops wouldn’t accept us. However, once people tasted the wine, it started to sell very successfully,” reported Paul.

So with the success of Whispering Angel, the original estate rosé wine, Château d’Esclans, started to receive more attention. And then a few years later, Sacha introduced two more luxury priced wines – Les Clans at $95 per bottle and Garrus at $125 per bottle.

Today, the Château d’Esclans portfolio has added three more rosé wines, for a total of seven. The Beach ($18) is designed to be the ‘little sister’ of Whispering Angel, whereas Rock Angel ($35) is the more muscular ‘older sister.’ As the entry-level wine in the portfolio, The Pale ($15) is designed to be a crisp, refreshing, lighter style of rosé.

So how well has the portfolio of seven rosé wines performed? Admirably, if judging by the numbers. Sacha, Paul, and the rest of the team were able to grow the estate from 135,000 to 12 million bottles per year. The wines are now sold in over 100 countries, and in 2019, LVMH acquired 55% of Château d’Esclans, with Sacha retaining 45%. Though the price was not revealed, the deal was estimated at €140 million.

Food Pairings for the Seven Styles of Château d’Esclans Rosé Wine

“Because it is not legal to add sugar to wine in Provence, all of our rosés are dry, which makes them very versatile when it comes to food,” reported Paul. “Though the wines do not pair with sweets and chocolates, because they have no sugar, they are wonderful with food, or on their own. What’s great about rosé is that it starts like a white wine and finishes like a red.”

All of the Château d’Esclans wines are produced from the approved rosé grapes of Provence, which include Grenache, Cinsault, Rolle (Vermentino) and Syrah. The more expensive wines are sourced from older vineyards in special locations.

Following are some of the recommendations for food pairings with the portfolio of the seven styles of Château d’Esclans rosé wines, beginning with the least to most expensive:

1. The Pale ($15) – A very pale rosé, with a light refreshing style. Notes of citrus, strawberries and floral. Pairs well with potato chips, barbecued foods, light cheeses, and summer salads.

2. The Beach ($18) – a more fruit-forward playful rosé, designed to be enjoyed at the beach, picnics, and other outdoor settings. This ‘little sister of Whispering Angel,’ exudes notes of red berry and peach, with a smooth, easy drinking finish. (Formerly called The Palm). Pairs well with fresh fruit, pizza, salads, grilled veggies and fried chicken.

3. Whispering Angel ($25.00) – as the most popular rosé wine in the world, Whispering Angel entices with an exotic floral nose of white flowers and strawberries. On the palate it opens to watermelon, nectarine, and mixed berries. With its elegant and smooth palate, it pairs well with diverse and spicy cuisines, including Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, and Middle Eastern. It is excellent with a Charcuterie board filled with meats, cheeses, olives, and French bread.

Whispering Angel Rosé Pairs Very Well with Chacuterie Château d’Esclans

4. Rock Angel ($35.00) – a bigger, bolder rosé, this ‘older sister of Whispering Angel,’ explodes with red peach, melon, raspberries and spice. Aged partially in oak, it has a more structured yet creamy mouthfeel. It pairs especially well with seafood, including oysters, grilled mahi mahi with asparagus, smoked salmon, and seafood pasta.

5. Château d’Esclans ($60.00) – the original classic wine of the portfolio, all the grapes are estate grown at the chateau, and fermented in 50% large neutral barrels. It is a medium-bodied elegant wine with floral notes followed by fresh, red berry fruit, nectarine and passionfruit, with a very long complex finish. It can stand up to stronger dishes, such as beef carpaccio, grilled chicken with lemon risotto, ratatouille, egg dishes, and complex cheeses.

6. Les Clans ($95.00) – A very exotic full-bodied rosé made in limited quantities from 50 to 55 year old vines, and fermented 100% in barrel, with 11 months oak aging. This very complex wine boasts red berries and pineapple notes, but also exhibits ginger, anise, and hazelnuts. With its structured complexity, it pairs well with grilled lobster in a cream sauce, tuna tartare, baked chicken, and even steak au poivre.

7. Garrus ($125.00) – Considered to be one of the most expensive rosés in the world, Garrus is a collector’s item, with only 50 barrels produced each year. The grapes are sourced from 90 to 100 year old high-elevation vineyards, with rocky limestone soils. Also fermented 100% in oak barrels and aged 11 months, it undergoes batonnage to create a more structured, yet creamy mouthfeel. With complex litchi, pear, dried pineapple and a hint of lavender, this rosé is designed to age in cellar for years, where it takes on more nutty notes and a lighter color over time.

“I enjoy having Garrus with beef fillet with foie gras on top, or steak with a mushroom sauce,” reported Paul. Other options include lamb chops, duck, goose and hard aged cheeses.

“Garrus is a Roman name, and is the local name for ‘hill of bears,’ because in the past there were bears that roamed the hillsides where the vineyards are planted,” explained Paul.

What Does the Future Hold for Château d’Esclans?

With seven rosé wines in its portfolio, many people wonder what is next for Château d’Esclans.

“Our main goal is to continue the premiumization of the rosé category, and to promote Provence as a category and region,” stated Paul. “Though 65% of our sales happen in the summer, we are now seeing rosé as quite popular at Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, and après sports, such as golf and tennis. It has become quite cool to drink rosé now after skiing.”

The company is also focusing more on sustainability, and is experimenting with lower-weight glass bottles to lower their carbon footprint, as well as alternative closures.

And we are exploring new ways to interact with consumers. This year we became the first winery in the world to auction a barrel of rosé (Garrus) through NFTs,” he concluded.

Indeed, the company has partnered with BlockBar to sell the barrel to four owners, who can then have the wine bottled in their preferred format. The advantage to collectors is that the NFT digital certificates ensure provenance and authenticity – perhaps ushering in a new era of wine auctions.

Emirates A380 business class review from Dubai to London Heathrow

By Rhys Jones

This is our review of Emirates business class on a refurbished A380.
Emirates is in the midst of a massive program to refurbish its workhorse A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft which represent the backbone of its long haul fleet.
Starting in 2021, the project has so far seen 22 of 110 A380s refurbished, whilst the first refurbished Boeing 777 will arrive this summer. For the A380, Emirates has retained the existing staggered 1-2-1 seating configuration but updated it with new finishes, fabrics and technology.
I was keen to see what Emirates had to offer on its flagship aircraft. Amongst the general public, Emirates enjoys a stellar reputation. Would my experience live up to it?

Emirates offers a very impressive cocktail menu on board with 12 classics available. The airline is renowned for its vast wine cellar with over six million bottles laid down. Available on this flight were two reds including Les Pagodes de Cos 2011 red, a white wine and Chateau d’ESclans Rock Angel 2022 rose (which British Airways serves in First).

Pairing tips for rosé wines


Exploring wine pairing can completely transform the dining experience, elevating both the dish and the drink chosen.

When it comes to rosé wine , versatility is its trademark, capable of accompanying a wide range of dishes and occasions.

Rosé wine stands out for its lightness and freshness, characteristics that make it perfect for pairing with foods with a delicate to moderately intense flavor.

Tips for Pairing Rosé Wine

Ideal Dishes for Rosé Win

Rosé wines are known for their ability to pair with a variety of dishes. From light salads and seafood dishes to white meats and mild cheeses, the pairing can be surprisingly broad. A key aspect for successful pairing is considering the aromatic profile and structure of the chosen rosé wine.

For example, a rosé from Provence, famous for its subtlety and floral notes, pairs wonderfully with fresh salads or lightly seasoned fish dishes. A fuller-bodied rosé, perhaps from the Tavel region in France, can support dishes with more intense flavors, such as grilled white meats or Mediterranean dishes.

Cheeses and Rosé Wine: A Versatile Combination

The choice of cheese to accompany your rosé wine can vary widely depending on the strength and style of the wine. Fresh, soft cheeses, such as Brie or Camembert, complement the lightness and freshness of more subtle rosés. On the other hand, cheeses with more striking flavors, such as feta or even chèvre, can enhance the attributes of a more robust rosé.

It is important to note that the serving temperature of the wine also influences the pairing experience. A rosé wine served slightly chilled, around 8-10°C, will best reveal its qualities, providing a refreshing contrast to the richness of creamy cheeses or the saltiness of marine appetizers.

Considering these aspects, pairing rosé wines is not limited to rigid rules, but rather to experimentation and balance between the flavors of the dish and the wine. Whether for an elegant dinner or a casual picnic, rosé wine offers endless pairing possibilities, capable of pleasing different palates.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

What does rosé wine taste like?


The flavor of rosé wine is remarkably diverse, varying significantly depending on the grape used, the terroir and the production method. In general, rosé wines are characterized by their lightness and freshness, with a delicate balance between acidity and sweetness. Many have fruity and floral notes, including aromas of strawberry, cherry, raspberry and roses, with mineral touches in some examples. This combination of flavors makes rosé wine extremely versatile, suitable for both casual and more formal occasions.

When tasting a rosé wine, it is possible to perceive a complexity that defies the notion that it is a less sophisticated option compared to reds and whites. Its flavor palette, which can range from citrus notes to herbaceous touches, reflects the diversity of winemaking techniques and choices made by the winemaker, providing a unique and pleasant sensorial experience.


What is the difference between red and rosé wine?


The main difference between red wine and rosé lies in the production method, especially the contact time between the grape juice and the skins. Red wines are produced by allowing a longer maceration period, which extracts more tannins, color and flavors from the grape skins. This results in fuller-bodied wines, with greater complexity of flavors and aging potential. Rosé wines are made by limiting this contact, resulting in a lighter color, less tannins and lighter, fruitier flavors, reflecting the essence of freshness.

Another important difference is the versatility in gastronomic pairing. While reds generally pair best with red meat and more robust dishes, rosés have the ability to pair with a wider variety of foods, from light starters to white meats and seafood, thanks to their lightness and balanced aromatic profile.


When do you drink rosé wine?


Rosé wine is exceptionally versatile, suitable for a variety of occasions, from a relaxing outdoor picnic to an elegant dinner party. Its lightness and freshness make it the perfect choice for hot summer days, but its complexity and variety also allow it to be enjoyed all year round. Rosé is ideal for social events, such as parties and receptions, as it tends to be a “democratic” wine, pleasing a wide range of palates.

Furthermore, it is an excellent option for aperitifs or to accompany light meals, such as salads, seafood dishes and mild cheeses. The flexibility of rosé wine, capable of pairing with a variety of dishes, makes it a smart choice for any occasion that requires a sophisticated and accessible drink.


What are the best rosé wines?


The “best” rosé wines depend on personal taste, but some examples stand out on the international scene for their quality and representation. Rosé wines from Provence, France, are widely recognized for their excellence, exhibiting balance, freshness and aromatic subtlety. Brands such as Château d’Esclans (Whispering Angel) is (among) the most prestigious.

In addition to France, regions such as Spain, Italy and the United States also produce high-quality rosés. In Spain, rosés from Navarra offer excellent value for money, while in Italy, rosés from Tuscany and Sicily enchant with their personality. In the United States, the highlight is California rosés, which combine innovation and tradition. Choosing the best rosé wine should consider the desired flavor profile and the occasion, encouraging experimentation and personal discovery.

Summary

Variety of Flavors : Rosé wine has fruity and floral notes, such as strawberry, cherry, raspberry, and roses

WHISPERING ANGEL ROSÉ:
PROVENCE’S ELEGANCE IN EVERY SIP

CRAFTSMANSHIP AND INNOVATION: THE ART OF WINEMAKING AT CHÂTEAU D’ESCLANS


At the heart of Whispering Angel’s allure lies the meticulous winemaking process, a symphony of craftsmanship and innovation orchestrated by the skilled hands at Château d’Esclans. From vine to bottle, every step is carefully choreographed to preserve the essence of Provence and capture the delicate flavors that define this iconic rosé.


HARVESTING: A LABOR OF LOVE
The journey of Whispering Angel begins with the annual grape harvest, a labor of love that unfolds amidst the sun-drenched vineyards of Provence. Each September, from sunrise to noon, skilled vineyard workers carefully select and pick the ripest grapes, ensuring that only the finest fruit makes its way into the cellar. The harvest is conducted with precision, with grapes hand-picked and placed in small crates to avoid damage during transport.


SORTING
Upon arrival at the cellars, the grapes undergo a rigorous sorting process to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used in the winemaking process. Manual sorting by experienced hands is followed by optical eye sorting, where grapes are meticulously inspected for health and quality. Only those grapes that meet the exacting standards of the winemaker are selected for vinification, a testament to Château d’Esclans’ commitment to excellence.


COOLING AND PRESSING
Once sorted, the grapes are gently crushed to release their precious juice, which is then cooled to lock in its freshness and vibrancy. Temperature reduction is key to preserving the grapes’ delicate flavors, with the juice reaching temperatures as low as 7-8 degrees Celsius. This process ensures that Whispering Angel maintains its signature crispness and vitality, even as it undergoes fermentation.


FERMENTATION
Fermentation is where the magic of winemaking truly begins. The juice, now transformed into wine, is placed in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to undergo fermentation. Here, yeast converts the grapes’ sugars into alcohol, while the wine develops its characteristic aromas and flavors. Throughout the fermentation process, careful monitoring and precise temperature control ensure that the wine retains its purity and elegance.

AGING AND BLENDING: THE ART OF ASSEMBLAGE
After fermentation, the wine is aged to further develop its complexity and depth of flavor. Some batches may undergo barrel fermentation, where they are aged in oak barrels to impart subtle nuances of spice and texture. This methods pertains to the production of a portion of Rock Angel and Château d’Esclans while the two top end wines, Les Clans and Garrus are completely fermented and aged in oak barrels.
Others may remain in stainless steel tanks to preserve their crispness and freshness. The final step is blending, where different batches of wine are carefully combined to achieve the desired flavor profile. The art of assemblage is a delicate balancing act, where each component plays a vital role in creating the harmonious whole that is Whispering Angel.

BOTTLING AND AGING
Once blended, the wine is bottled and allowed to age, a process that allows its flavors to marry and evolve over time. While Whispering Angel is renowned for its youthful vibrancy, a period of aging adds complexity and depth to the wine, ensuring that it reaches its full potential upon release.

QUALITY CONTROL
Throughout the winemaking process, rigorous quality control measures are in place to ensure that every bottle of Whispering Angel meets the highest standards of excellence. From vineyard to cellar, each step is carefully monitored and guided by the experienced hands of the winemaking team. This unwavering commitment to quality is what sets Whispering Angel apart, ensuring that every sip is a testament to the artistry and dedication of Château d’Esclans.
It is this dedication to quality that has made Whispering Angel a beloved favorite among wine enthusiasts worldwide, a wine that whispers of elegance and charm with every sip.

pleasures. Whether enjoyed with a casual meal or as an aperitif among friends, Whispering Angel embodies the
