The Pale Rosé (75cl, 12.5%)

A dry Provence rosé from Château d'Esclans, produced under Sacha Lichine and bottled at 12.5% ABV. It is blended from Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, with grapes harvested at night and placed in small crates, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and aged on its lees. The nose opens with candied orange peel and mineral-touched white flowers, followed by fresh strawberry and hints of lilac. The palate is bright and succulent, led by pink grapefruit and wild strawberry, with subtle meringue-like sweetness, cherry pith and crushed stone minerality. The finish is clean, with melon and lilac and a gentle mineral imprint.
