2020 Chateau d'Esclans Cotes de Provence Garrus Rose, France

Winemaker Notes
Considered Château d’Esclans’ finest wine, Garrus is made from a single vineyard of nearly 100 year-old Grenache vines, and from Rolle (Vermentino). Entirely fermented and aged in new large French oak barrels for 11 months, the powerful and elegant Garrus was at the heart to Sacha Lichine’s vision in 2006 to make rosé grand. Today Garrus is firmly established as a world class, iconic luxury rosé. It is an impressive and concentrated rosé with a creamy finish featuring rich and spicy notes rivaling any top white wine or prestige Champagne.

Press

Rated 95 Points James Suckling
Extremely perfumed with dried peaches, passion fruit and some mineral elements. Ever so subtle. Full-bodied, yet so tight and focused, with a really long and vertical texture of fine tannins and beautiful fruit, as well as bright acidity.

Rated 93 Points Decanter
Warm, spicy oak aromas with some toast, vanilla and ginger. Lush flavours of ginger, honeysuckle and almond flood the palate and a silky, creamy texture follows. Very complex and inviting. Blend: 55% Grenache, 45% Vermentino.
