Chateau D’Esclans, Garrus

This wine is the top cuvee from Chateau D’Esclans, owned by Sascha Lichine. It is made in very much the same meticulous manner as all wines from this owner.

Grenache and Rolle grapes are picked from 80 year old vines by hand in the morning. They are then sorted 3 times, checked both manually and electronically to make sure only the best grapes go in to the wine. All stages of the process are temperature controlled throughout to avoid any oxidation or coloration.

The Chateau D’Esclans, Garrus, with its limited availability, is tipped as one of the best rose wines in the world. This wine can be tasted at several different temperatures, not just cold, each changing the complexity of aromas and tastes. The wine gives off a hint of vanilla with a crisp, dry, fruity taste. It’s a wine to savour and enjoy either by drinking on its own or accompanying a meal.

Chateau D'Esclans, Garrus is available at Rose-wine.com, either as 6 bottles or a single bottle gift pack.
