Description & Technical Information
-
Created by Sacha Lichine following his acquisition of Château d’Esclans in 2006, his vision was to create the greatest rosés in the world igniting the “Rosé Renaissance”. Sacha introduced new and innovative winemaking techniques to Provence which revolutionized the styles of rosés being produced from this region.

Les Clans is made from grapes exclusively from the Vineyards of Chateau d’Esclans. Grapes are selected from vines that grow from parcels of superior quality. The best quality lots bearing old vines consisting primarily of Grenache and Rolle (Vermentino). Harvesting is conducted in the morning to help to avoid the heat of the day & to keep the crop fresh. Grapes are sorted by optical eye electronically and manually three times. Destemming and slight crushing at 7-8°C to avoid oxydation. Blend of free run juice and first slight pressing. No maceration. Alcoholic fermentation in new and second year demi-muids (600L barrels). 10 months Burgundian style during which Battonage is conducted twice weekly over an eleven month period prior to bottling.

Vineyards: 50 to 55-year-old vines. Upper elevation vineyards. Rocky limestone and gravely soils.

Expert Reviews
96/100
Anne Krebiehl MW
“Just a kiss of oak, of vanilla, of cherry in dark chocolate and a hint of bitter almond make for an exceptional nose. These aromas carry right onto the palate. An edge of phenolics is mouthwatering, the concentration is beautiful. There is a real sense of grilled hazelnut on the finish. Incredibly balanced.”
94/100
James Suckling
“A serious nose for a rosé, with some prominent oak spice, then fresh plums and nimble red berries. Full-bodied, dense and tightly wound, with a lovely phenolic structure. Yet, it remains pure. A fine touch of herbal and oak bitterness at the end, with natural, elegant acidity following through.”
17/20
Richard Hemming MW
“Creamy, toffee, ripe red fruits, rounded and full with soft acid and medium to full body. Fresh enough, with good persistence and a lingering oak influence. Benefits from the extra year of bottle age. Love it or hate it, you can't deny this is impressive.”
92/100
Roger Voss
“This wood-aged rosé is poised and elegant. Its acidity and red fruits show well against the backdrop of spicy wood and fine perfumes. Dense and maturing well, it is ready to drink.”
