Caves d’Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé 2025

Arguably the most spoken about and consumed Provençal Rosé in Canada, and perhaps also around the globe. Not saying there is a seismic shift in style but the 2025 shows a deeper hue and density of fruit concentration, and finally, a lean into phenolic grip. The latter will see this vintage age longer than those that have come before, and might also slightly disappoint a few loyal fans of lighter, more delicate southern French Rosé. Others will relish the new vim and vigour. As they should. Drink date: 2026-2029. Tasted July 2026. (Zekun ShuaiMichael Godel,winealign.com,Feb. 12, 2026)
