vintage of
an exceptional rosé
Château d ’ Esclans – a magnificent estate lined with
vivid blue hydrangeas – lies in the heart of Provence ,
northeast of Saint - Tropez and just a stone ’ s throw from
the Mediterranean .
The site dates back to the time of the Gauls , when it
served as a lookout point to spot intruders arriving by
boat into the Gulf of Fréjus .
The current chateau , inspired by Tuscan villa architec -
ture , was built in the mid - 19th century . The estate is
renowned for its old Grenache vines – some more than
90 years old – which yield grapes that concentrate
more flavors than younger vines .
It is here , in 2006 , that the “ Rebirth of Rosé ” began ,
with the ambition of elevating the Côtes de Provence
appellation to world class renown
