Craftsmanship & Story

Founded by visionary winemaker Sacha Lichine, Château d’Esclans has become synonymous with the global rise of premium rosé. Set in the sun-drenched Esclans Valley, the estate’s ancient Grenache vines yield fruit of exceptional intensity. Grapes are hand-harvested by night and meticulously sorted using optical technology before gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures to preserve freshness, purity, and vibrant aromatics. Each detail, from vineyard to cellar, reflects a pursuit of perfection and a passion for Provence’s natural beauty.

Entirely vinified in stainless steel, it showcases pristine fruit expression and delicate minerality. Its pale, luminous colour and refined texture embody the art of Provence rosé. The result is a wine that balances indulgence with elegance — versatile, graceful, and world-renowned for its silky, dry finish and captivating allure.
