Château d’Esclans, nestled in the heart of Provence near the Gorges de Pennafort, has been a defining force in the modern rosé movement since Sacha Lichine acquired the estate in 2006. His vision to craft world-class rosé led to the creation of Whispering Angel, a wine that has become synonymous with the region’s refined winemaking traditions. The château’s history stretches back to the time of the Gauls, its elevated position once serving as a strategic vantage point over the Gulf of Fréjus. Lichine, whose lifelong immersion in the wine industry began in Bordeaux, has combined old-world expertise with a global perspective to shape the legacy of Château d’Esclans.
