Chateau d'Esclans, Les Clans, 2022

This, in my humble opinion, IS the best rosé on earth.

The Garrus is a little too sturdy for me - this has all the refreshing citrus of Whispering, with the elegant, creamy notes you might expect of a Burgundy Chardonnay.

A delicate, pale pink in colour, this has some evidence of oak on the nose, which gives the wine a smoky character.

The wine underwent Bâtonnage two times a week for ten months, this added complex flavours of sandlewood and butter and gave the wine its medium body and creamy texture.

A truly sensational rosé, setting the standard to anything remotely pink.
