Les Clans Château D'Esclans 2024 75cl

Les Clans 2024 from Château d'Esclans is Provence rosé at its most serious: barrel-fermented, pale-salmon in the glass, and built to sit at the table rather than beside the pool. Pour it into a white wine glass and you get stone fruit, pink grapefruit and a whisper of vanilla spice from the oak, then a long, mineral, almost saline finish.

Why you'll love it

• A rosé with real weight - partial oak ageing gives it texture and depth most rosés never reach.
• Made for food - grilled langoustine, roast chicken, truffle pasta, aged goat's cheese.
• Gift-worthy - the second wine in the d'Esclans hierarchy, just below Garrus.
• Serve at 10-12°C - and let it open for ten minutes in the glass.
