Château d’Esclans Garrus Rosé 2022 – Côtes de Provence

The pinnacle of Provence rosé. Sourced from 100-year-old Grenache vines and Rolle, Garrus is fermented and aged 11 months in new French oak barrels, resulting in a full-bodied, complex rosé built to rival Grand Cru white Burgundy or prestige Champagne.

Tasting Notes:
Powerful aromas of dried citrus, peach, and passion fruit lead to a mid-palate of glazed pear, pineapple, and toasty spice. Creamy and structured with flinty minerality and a long, peppery finish.

Blend: Grenache, Rolle (Vermentino), Syrah
Aging Potential: Now through 2030
Alcohol: 14% ABV
Production: ~800 cases imported to the U.S.

Serving Suggestions:
