The Château d’Esclans lies in the heart of Provence, northeast of St. Tropez, and is a magical estate. Its roots date back to the Gallic era, when it served as a lookout post. Later, in 1201, the château and its original cellars passed into the possession of Gérard de Villeneuve. In 2006, Sacha Lichine acquired the château with the vision of creating the world’s finest rosé wines and ushering in a “rosé renaissance”. Despite its acquisition by Moët Hennessy (LVMH) in 2019, it continues to operate under his leadership.

Château d’Esclans’ philosophy focuses on producing high-quality rosé wines comparable to fine white wines. This goal is achieved with state-of-the-art equipment and the expertise of renowned winemaker Patrick Léon, known for his work at Rothschild. The wines are often aged in oak barrels, which gives them complexity. Renowned cuvées include Château d’Esclans, Les Clans and Garrus, the latter considered the world’s most expensive rosé wine.

The terroir of Côtes de Provence , with its old Grenache vines, is known for highly concentrated aromas. The best-known cuvée, [Whispering Angel](/collection/whispering-angel), has established itself worldwide and is appreciated for its structure and aromas. Rock Angel is also very popular. Although the winery is primarily known for its rosé wines, it also produces high-quality white and red wines under the Esclans Déesse.
