Whispering Angel from Château d'Esclans is the rosé that really set the bar for Provence – crisp, elegant, and effortlessly drinkable. It’s the kind of wine that manages to be both refreshingly relaxed and seriously well made, and this vintage is no exception.
Delicate and dry with subtle stone fruit and citrus notes, it’s incredibly versatile at the table. Think Niçoise salad, goat’s cheese, grilled prawns or sea bass – or simply enjoy it on its own, chilled, in the sunshine. Whispering Angel continues to define what premium rosé should taste like, and we can’t imagine summer without it.

Vintage report
The 2024 growing season in Provence followed a familiar Mediterranean script with a few welcome plot twists. Spring arrived gently, giving the vines a steady start before summer settled into its rhythm of warm, dry days tempered by the Mistral's cooling influence. The key difference this year was the absence of extreme heat spikes that have plagued recent vintages, allowing the grapes to ripen at a more measured pace whilst retaining the bright acidity that makes Provence rosé so refreshing.
What emerged from the cellars shows all the hallmarks of classic Provence: Grenache with its strawberry brightness intact, Cinsault bringing delicate florals, and Syrah adding just enough structure without overwhelming the blend. The rosés we've tasted show that pale salmon colour we love, with flavours that dance rather than shout. Most 2024 Provence rosés are drinking beautifully right now and will continue to charm through next summer, though the better domaines have produced wines with enough backbone to reward patient drinkers into 2026.
