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. Drinkable now, but better after 2023.

Wine Advocate
The 2021 Cotes de Provence Rose Les Clans, matured for 11 months in 600-liter barrels (new and old), derives from old vines (50-55 years of age) planted on gravel-calcareous soils. It reveals a complex, dense bouquet with aromas of vanilla, spices, peach, iodine, crushed stones, rose and raspberry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, seamless palate endowed with impressive texture, racy acids and a refreshing yet long finish. It's the most complex, racy, gastronomic wine in the Château d’Esclans range.

Wine Enthusiast
A ripe, lightly toasty wine that is rich and full bodied. It is an impressive and powerful wine with red fruits and ripe berry flavors. Intense and concentrated, it is spicy and now ready to drink.

Wine Spectator
A flattering style, with incense and dried rose petal infusing a base of white peach and yellow apple. Reveals midpalate fattiness amplified by salted buttercream, while grapefruit-laced acidity brings balance. Offers a good mineral foundation. Grenache and Rolle. Drink now. 800 cases imported.
Winery Notes
Epitomizing a sophisticated, food driven wine made from Grenache and Rolle (Vermentino), Les Clans (entirely fermented and aged in large French oak barrels) represents a particular disconnect with rosé in general as it is quite remarkable with potential to age or, if tempted, to enjoy with great pleasure sooner rather than later. This wine is both rich and exotic while being full bodied and elegant.
