Chateau L'Escarelle Description

Chateau de L’Escarelle of one of the most prestigious wine estates in the heart of Provence, with 100 hectares of organically certified vineyards set in 1,000 hectares of beautiful woodland.

In the past year this property has made impressive steps to establish itself as a major player of sustainable agriculture in France. In 2016 the estate achieved Haute Valeur Environnementale certification (France’s most stringent environmental certification scheme, level 3), demonstrating their deep-rooted commitment to protecting the natural world. Their vines are planted at up to 500 metres above sea level, hugging the slopes of the Montagne de La Loube and adapting to the estates' clay and limestone soil profile. The terroir’s distinctive character is perfect for creating highly-expressive, elegant Rosé wines.

Produced using organic farming methods from shallow clay-limestone & sand soils situated at around 250m / 820 ft. above sea level.

The ‘Château’ is the most traditional – and the oldest – of their wines. It’s blended in the traditional way, with a short maceration period – these wines are designed to be drunk fairly soon. Dependable, elegant and bursting with fruit. The ideal way to get to know the vineyard and taste the terroir. Delicate and elegant floral aromas with lively minerality on the palate, clean attack and delicious strawberry notes.

"A vibrant pink, the 2023 Rosé Coteaux Varois en Provence wafts up with a lovely blend of green melon and crushed apples complemented by a sweet herbal tinge. This blends ripe orchard fruits with hints of candied citrus and tropical inner florals over a juicy, acidic stream. It cleans up beautifully, lingering with a gentle bitter sensation and crisp mineral tones. The 2023 leaves the mouth watering for more."-Eric Guido
