Origin
Grapes grown from some of the most choice land in the surrounding region of La Motte in Provence. Harvesting at sunrise until noon. Grapes are sorted optically. Destemming and slight crushing at 7-8°c to avoid oxidation. Both the free run juice and pressed juices are vinified in stainless steel. “Battonnage” is twice weekly.
Producer
As a negociant and vinificateur (winery), Caves d’Esclans identifies vineyards, grapes and wines from Château d’Esclans, as well as local growers, to make what has reputedly become the world’s greatest rosé. As their objective is to obtain the best quality grapes and wines, they have created good working relationships with the local grape growers, situated beside Caves d’Esclans, whose vineyards are treated with the same high standards of quality as are the vineyards of Château d’Esclans.
